I would suggest PAIR networks as they sponsor PerlMonks and also support perl. They should have what you are looking for.

You might have better luck finding what you want if you go to Web Hosting Talk and ask there. You will find plenty of small hosting operators htere who may be willing to help out with a non-standard configuration that the bigger services, like Pair, cannot offer. Who knows, you might even find one who will offer the 'C' library support you want.

Be careful though, more and more small hosting services are being run on 're-sold' machines from operators such as Nocster and run by keen young business-folk, some as young as 14 who whilst being keen, often have only a passing knowledge of PHP and usually none or precious little of Perl.

Good luck! jdtoronto Updated Corrected typo's - thanks BUU

cavalive, I checked the dreamhost... Oh my!! They have a 9.95/m strict business plan. Special discount for 3 days. I'm jumping on it, i think I got nothing to lose.

I also looked at webhostingtalk.com as jdtoronto suggested. very good information site...

Now, the problem arises. DREAMHOST's plan seems very, very good. Special promotion... $80/m high level plan becomes $10/m, for three days. It's the same price with the lowest level plan. What happens to the other customers paid yearly already??? No refunds are given if you want to switch, or cancel as far as I know! It's very annoying for them. Maybe even for you cavaline! It's just isn't fair.

But, the deal is a deal... I'm taking it. cavaline, at least give me your web ID or domain name, so that I can write you into the referred box.

If you're thinking about going with Dreamhost, then you may also want to consider ehostpros. As far as I can tell, they offer everything that Dreamhost does, but for a lot less (starting plan is $2.99 a month and includes Perl support and MySQL).

Note: I don't use ehostpros yet. I've been thinking about switching over and the reviews I've read sound pretty good.
