What type of CGI scripts can I use?
The most commonly used programming language for CGI is Perl. If you want to use C to write your CGI programs, that is also permitted, but you will need to compile them in order for them to work.

We allow users to write and run any CGI scripts. However, we reserve the right to disable any scripts that use heavy resources or are deemed to have harmful server side effects.

The path to Perl on our servers is as follows:
 
/usr/bin/perl
 
Other commonly used programs and their paths are:
 
/usr/sbin/sendmail
/bin/date

Note: If you are looking for the path to your home directory, this is in your set up email.
