Q6: How do I find the correct Perl path?

Answer

To find your server's Perl path:

  1. Via SSH/Telnet:
    which perl
  2. Ask your hosting provider

Common Perl paths:

  • /usr/bin/perl - Most common
  • /usr/local/bin/perl - Alternative location
  • /bin/perl - Some systems

Update the first line of your script with the correct path:

#!/usr/bin/perl
