What should the extensions be?
You should make sure your scripts are in the .pl extension in order to use them properly.

Can I place scripts somewhere other than in the CGI-BIN directory and have them run?
No. The CGI-BIN directory is set up with execution privileges, and most of the other directories are not. If you need to change the permissions on your directories or scripts once they are on our servers, please contact Technical Support for more information.

Where can I get some scripts that might be able to work with your server?
There are many free scripts available on the internet. Doing a search for scripts in any search engine will get you thousands of entries to explore. If you are looking for something specific, there are many places out there that will supply scripts for free, however you have to figure out how to set them up for yourself. Remember, Pages 2 Go is not responsible for scripts that you might put on the server. If you are having problems with a script, please contact the creator of that script.

What is the exact path to the Perl 5 interpreter on my server?
The first line of any Perl script will require the absolute path to the Perl interpreter for the script to work properly. The correct syntax for this line is: #!\perl5//bin//perl
