im installing a perl script in my website and..

i want to know where's the location of the perl in the server..

as written in this artilce:

.....Now, you will need to know where Perl is on your web server. This is because you may need to change the top line in this script. If you are unsure where Perl is, ask your web host or telnet your server and type the which perl command at the prompt:

Telnet>which perl

Usually, Perl is located in /usr/bin/perl or /usr/local/bin/perl directory. When you know where perl is, use that path after the # sign and ! symbol above. So, if you had to change it to /usr/local/bin/perl, then the first line would read:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl
.....

Need response ASAP.. please..

Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl

Should be working. Very Happy

Very Happy

Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl

is probably right, but I've also seen both that and...

Code:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl

working on some servers. I'm not sure if the latter is correct, but if at first you don't succeed try try again. This is an error that the server can handle just fine. If it doesn't locate perl at the location it will tell you.

A word to the wise: Investigate what version of perl your scripts require, and compare that version to what is run when you activate

Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl

. I'm sure that somewhere there is a script written that requires an older version of perl to run, at which point you'll have to ask the admin what older versions are or can be installed on your server.
