But ... what does "hosting" mean? Today? These days it probably does not mean providing an environment in which you can deploy your arbitrary (Perl ...) program. Your edge-case scenario is no longer the profit center, and it never again will be. The market is now dominated by customers who realize that they can "deploy their web-sites," more or less, without engaging custom programmers at all. A commercial offering which fundamentally consists of "access to a shell prompt"is no longer commercially viable – therefore, commercial providers no longer offer it. It is now possible to directly catapult into "the final goal ... a deployed web site" mostly without requiring the customer to fully engage with the underlying technology at all. Sorry to disappoint you, but ... "tens of thousands of paying customers who 'just want a web site' really don't give a damn about your language, whatever it is." Sorry. Welcome to the new world.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
