Path to Perl on web server?

Question

Hi,

I want to configure NMS formmail script step-by-step as shown on http://www.ironspider.ca/forms/nmsform.htm. I have a free hosting account with x10hosting.com. When I log-in to my cPanel the Path to Perl is shown as "/usr/bin/perl" however I am unable to locate the exact location/directory or perl module and sendmail module.

Actually I do not quite understand the path of the perl module (above). I mean there is no "bin" folder under the usr(jcren) directory however in the cpanel it is shown as usr/bin/perl

I am new to web-development and I try to apply what I have interpreted from what I learn on the internet so I am not really sure what i have interpreted is correct or not i.e. the path to the PERL module. I have installed a local server on my computer(XAMPP) and the path to perl on my local server is "E:\xampp\perl\bin\perl.exe".

I believe the above script (NMS formmail) does not require to have a MYSQL database. Oh boy...I am not really sure...

Please let me know where am I missing out.

Thanks for your advice.

Answer 1

If it says /usr/bin/perl it means exactly that -- /usr is NOT an abbreviation for your username.

If it's free, it is VERY unlikely that they will give you access to perl and/or sendmail. That's exactly why we have so much spam in this world! Sorry

Answer 2

Ask for Absolute path of the PERL in the Server to the Web master . Create ticket for this x10hosting.com. They will resolve the issue. Actualy the path are forbidden.

Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) is a robust guess with the aid of fact it scales the bandwidth in keeping with shopper base and frequency. that's no longer the main inexpensive yet you won't decide to be bothered approximately working out of bandwidth.
