in thread SQLite + free web hosting?

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,

        Yup. You can adjust @INC by using env var PERL5LIB or by using the lib module.

        For example, to install a module, I do 

        perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=~ LIB=~/lib/perl5
make
make test
make install

        [download]
        and I have the following in my ~/.bash_profile 
        export PERL5LIB=~/lib/perl5

        [download]

        But you can use lib in your script instead of using PERL5LIB.

        If it's a Windows host, you just grab a ppd file, unzip it (I think) and use use lib.
