in thread SQLite + free web hosting?

do they allow users to install Perl modules?

I doubt they disabled the C compiler. And even if they did, you could compile the module on a similar machine and just upload the binaries.

Aren't there any security issues?

They already allow you to run arbitrary programs, so I'm not sure what you have in mind.

    I really have no experience with web servers, so I may be talking nonsense, but if I owned one, I believe I would give no permissions for outsiders to write in any directories under perl's. Isn't that the case?

    Thanks,

      Noone said anything about writing in the directories under perl's. Perl modules can be installed in any directory.

        OK, I think I'm getting your point (again, I apologize if I missed the basic classes).

        If I put the binaries in my own directory in the web server, how can I make perl "see" them? Do I need to change @INC?

        Thanks again,
