Hi Spidy,

It can be done but one thing to consider is your ISPs AUP (Acceptable use policy).
A few ISPs here that I know of do not allow their users to run webservers etc.
Have you considered getting an account on something like freeshell.org.
I know they charge a one off fee to upgrade your account to use gcc, Perl etc.. but you may find it useful to connect from school (or anywhere else) via ssh or telnet to edit your source code, rather than upload it.

Hope this helps

Martin

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
