Instructions to Find out what version of Perl you are running using a CGI script
If your web hosting server provider does not provide access to a shell, you may use following perl program to find out perl version:
#!/usr/bin/perl
$command=`perl -v`;
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "<html><head><title>Perl Version</title></head><body>";

Save the script as version.pl and upload it to your cgi-bin directory. Now execute script by typing url http://www.example.com/cgi-bin/version.pl
