Perl Server Info

Follow these instructions to determine the version of Perl on your server, along with other information including environment variables.

  1. Download the file info.txt to your computer, then rename it to info.cgi.
  2. Upload the info.cgi file to your server's cgi-bin directory, then chmod the info.cgi file (that is, set its permissions) to world-executable, which is a+rx or 0755.
  3. In your browser, visit www.yoursite.com/cgi-bin/info.cgi and you should see lots of server information.  (If not, you may need to rename the file from info.cgi to info.pl on some servers.)
  4. If you need support, contact us and send the full address to the info.cgi file on your server.
