Setup under limited access

[doug edmunds <be...@yahoo.com>]

I have a experimental site 
with these allowances and restrictions:

Allowed: cgi-bin (call #!usr/local/bin/perl
Allowed: apache
Allowed: can fpt .pm files into localmodule directory
and add that directory to @INC


Restriction: no shell access
Restriction: apache does not have mod_perl

I want to place appropriate embperl pm files 
in the localmodule directory, and access them
with cgi scripts.  

Will embperl work under these conditions?
(I don't care about the speed or persistent state
issues).

I tried nmake but it failed it couldn't find 'cl' 
on this system, for the cc='cl' entry in the makefile.  
 
If I setup cygwin under a windows system, will I
be able to run make successfully?  Which files would
I need to ftp to the hosted site?

Yes, there is a embpcgi.pl file in the distribution, which could be called
from the webserver as cgi script. Just add all your configuration parameters
at the top of that script (i.e. $ENV{EMBPERL_xxx} = 'foo') and add a use lib
with the path to your local modules to that script

Does your host runs windows ? In this case checkout if they run the
ActiveState distribution. You can get a ready compiled Embperl version. See
INSTALL.pod.

I never have tested under cygwin, but Embperl compiles with VC++ 5 & 6 under
ActiveState Perl and under Perl I have compiled myself
