Perl is not supported on x10hosting's free-hosting accounts
the only scripting you can do is with PHP

Yeah ive been told that before. Perl still works, just not with mysql.

See for yourself http://www.rulesrmade2bbroken.co.uk/cgi-bin/test.p

What I said was "Perl is not supported on x10hosting's free-hosting accounts"

PHP is currently the only supported CGI option.

If Perl and/or Python are working for a user - on a x10hosting's free-hosting server - after a update - they eventually are removed from the users access

But when they are working - you can run the scripts from any folder (if you know how) - such as [ public_html ] - just like a PHP script

Yes and you also said: "the only scripting you can do is with PHP".
Ive been "doing" perl scripts on my free account for many years.
Thanks for your help.

My error - what I should have said:
"Currently the only CGI scripting language - which is supported by x10hosting - that you can use on a free-hosting server is PHP"

As pointed out, Perl is not officially supported on Free Hosting Accounts. If it is running on your particular server, understand that the Admins can turn it off at any time. This thread might bring it to the Admins attention and hasten that time.

Assuming you are willing to take the risk that Perl might be disabled at any time:

"now it doesn't" doesn't tell me anything. Error messages? Maker sure you do not turn off error reporting and test return values.

Have you tried to access the database via a PHP script with success (wondering if it is a database problem)?

This is the error message I'm getting

install_driver(mysql) failed: Can't locate DBD/mysql.pm in @INC (@INC contains: ../ /usr/local/lib64/perl5 /usr/local/share/perl5 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 .) at (eval 5) line 3.
Perhaps the DBD::mysql perl module hasn't been fully installed,
or perhaps the capitalisation of 'mysql' isn't right.

I can connect to the db with php.

We don't support Perl on free hosting. Nor do we support the MySQL module for it.
