in thread Perl is dying

Very late to the game but when this thread was written I was using Catalyst on $7/month hosting. Still am. Any host that supports fcgi and Perl will run Cat apps fine.

    You apparently haven't reckoned with shared hosting accounts that don't have shell access, and/or have other restrictions on what one may do with them.

      I'm unsure what you mean. I am aware that there are hosting accounts without shell access or even (S)FTP. I wouldn't pay for such an account, or use one for free for that matter, as without even ssh, I wouldn't have any use for it.

      My $7/month hosting has fcgi, mysql, svn, ssh, sftp, and plenty of other features. I'm running vanilla (F)CGIs and Catalyst apps on it and have been for 3+ years.

        That doesn't mean everybody else has the same standards as you. If they did, GoDaddy would be (thankfully) out of business.
