Re: How Do I Turn Custom Modules into CGI Script?

Can you copy them into your web tree somewhere?

Also, I think its best to get a hosting service where you have full control of what is installed and free yourself from the control of others.

I know it's not so cool to name names, but are there any you would recommend? This sounds like an unusual hosting arrangement. For instance is DreamHost a company like this?	[reply]

Not exactly, but they were very cooperative about installing modules beyond those on their basic list. (FWIW, my experience w/DreamHost was pretty good except for some horrors in assuming responsibility for a client's site -- for which the client had neglected to obtain account-change authority or passwords from a webmaster who subsequently went AWOL). But other hosting providers are also cooperative; since we have named one name, here's another: HostRocket which is generous with shell access, as well. Turning back to metaperl's "full control" suggestion: that phrase implies, to me, a dedicated server. That's considerably more expensive than shared hosting, but is frequently well worth the cost (of course, the reverse is also often true).	[reply]
