Re^2: download instead of execution

Hi , thanks for all the suggestions , I guess changing the provider would probably be the best solution in the long run. So far however editing the .htaccess file might a help.
What should it look like to operate my scripts ?
In answer to the other suggestions / questions, no I didn't move the scripts or changed anything of the server ... I am afraid they might indeed not support perl anymore ... much appreciated and kind regards to all

I've had a budget host break my scripts at least three times, in fact I started getting errors from them last week from a fairly complicated and CPAN dependent cron job that had been running flawlessly for, wow, maybe 13 years. My scripts/CGIs/FCGIs were broken by changes in the system Perl and its libs. This predated local::lib so I was relying on things in fragile ways. Anyway, even if the libraries have moved or perl has been removed, you can probably sort it out yourself if you have a shell account on the host and the diskspace; and the desire to sink a fair bit of time. :\| Good news is, it's pretty unlikely they removed perl so probably it's just permissions to execute it from web locations have been tightened. The .htaccess link I gave points to some possible solutions and you can goolge for tons more. Check out local::lib if it turns out perl is there but the host pulled or broke modules on which you rely.	[reply]
