<body>Hi,currently,I am using the free hosting server from www.virtualave.net
It support the CGI Perl and it also provide quite a big size of disk space which is 20 Mb.
The other things it provide is SSI,Front Page and FTP support.It also provide the mail server which is /usr/sbin/sendmail which I mostly use,since I do not have UNIX access.
But I only using the CGI access and FTP support.It also provide the links to the free WS-FTP for transferring the file.
The respond from it technical support also is quite fast.Currently,I think they are under big modification since when I go to their site,they have make it better.
In the site also,they provide the step-by-step approach on how to configure the FTP and the Perl script,so that it can run on your homesite.You have to look at the supports part.
Another good thing is,you can put your name on front of your domain such as http://vrempire.virtualave.net.Although,it is a little bit long,but it doesn't matter since it sounds good :)
Virtualave is the first place that I learn on how to run the CGI script.
Anyway,with all the supports that you can get with virtualave,there is also the gift and take.you have to put their banner or advertising on our homepage.Whether you embed it,or you just let it pop out.
Anyway,
till now,
I think www.virtualave.net is a good try for you to run your Perl script.

Your best bet, is to find a friend who has a server that you can ssh/telnet to, and use that.... at least for the initial testing stage.
FTP uploading of files once they're working is all well and good, but it's a really painful way of debugging... you really need a development environment that's similar to the "real" environment... and you don't want to be testing your work on the "real" server.

i'm using virtualave as well..
i've had a few problems running scripts on their servers (for instance i have noticed my scripts will not work unless i print a \n before everything.. i'm sure it's my fault tho :) but i've used virtualave for a while now and never had any major problems.. they seem to pretty reliable and offer a nice assortment of features, and you can't beat the price :)
