Hi,

Don't understand well your problem... I read it 2 times... but I still not clear what you want...

What's wrong with having a index.whatelse? You say in the webserver configuration how he should threat the different sections/locations of your website...

If your 'websettings' are that you only can have something executable in a cgi-bin dir, then you must life with it, but that's not a problem you can have then your stuff moved into the cgi-bin dir...

Normally you find hosting companies which give you the typical LAMP solution... and says someting like: "also CGIs" and here what you normally get is a webserver configuration where you have support to the P from LAMP associated with PHP and a cgi-bin dir where you can put a Perl CGI or whatever... Avoid this kind of hostings if you want to develop Perl web-solutions.

And if you give more details, could be that we could help you more, because I think that others may have the same "understanding" problem as me.
