Using ws_ftp, how do I find where perl is on the server? I checked by each directory & can't find it? It has a cgi-bin, so I'm pretty sure it has to have perl, so, how do I find it?

hehe.. try one of the following paths

/usr/local/bin/perl
/usr/bin/perl

its probaby one of those.

That's what I thought, but neither of them worked.

with ftp you won't find it unless you could get out of your home folder. try to ssh to your domain and then type 'whereis perl' it will show you the path.

and dont forget to chmod the perl file to 755 eh

or put this in a .php file and upload it..

Code:

<?=exec("whereis perl");?>

then running it should tell you where perl is..
