Fellow monks,

I've been searching the internet for a webhost that offers excellent perl support with SHARED HOSTING. Some companies do not even bother specifying the perl version they have! And most do not give accurate andd enough information about the their Perl support.

I'd like to get your advice on this. Which webhosts do you know, work with...? Here are my requests from the webhost

1) I should be able to use my own CGI scripts, my own modules, and upload maybe dozens of other CPAN modules.

2) I even need a C library installed in the server! Namely, it's ming, the SWF output library. Some hosting companies have ming installed, but hey, what if some company has a much better deal, but no ming?

For the beginning, (1) is a MUST HAVE!!! I want shared hosting because it's cheap. If you know a cost effective dedicated server package, I could take it too!

I appreciate your help
Thanks,
asi
