Installation and requirements of embperl on a limited ISP

[Colin Tucker <ct...@omenmedia.com>]

Hi there,

My Perl and UNIX knowledge is still pretty limited unfortunately ;o) and I was wondering how I might go about installing embperl on an ISP that has no telnet or root access.  FTP only - obviously I want to run it as a CGI script.

Regards,

The FAQ tells you how to install Embperl on a machine were you don't have
root access:

http://perl.apache.org/embperl/Faq.pod.1.html#Is_it_possible_to_install_EmbP
er

In cases like yours, where you even don't have telnet access, you need todo
the compiling and installing on a identical machine (same OS, libs and CPU)
and copy the whole lib tree that build under your privat directory to the
ISP's machine.
