I am going to write a Perl CGI script that needs to be deployed on a host that does not allow shell access. You interact with them through your web interface, where you can upload files to a web server, including Perl CGI.
Before starting, I would like to check which version of Perl is installed and if some CPAN modules are available. I could write my own "probe.cgi" to do this, but maybe someone already made such a tool.
Is there a CGI that works with the possibly really old versions of Perl that you can simply access on any web server and that reports on the capabilities of your hosting provider?
