Private cgi-bin

A private "cgi-bin" directory is provided with all FastVirtual web hosting plans. 3rd-party, or custom developed scripts should be uploaded to this directory.

Perl 5 is the preferred CGI scripting language, although compiled C is also supported.

• FastVirtual uses Perl version 5.008008
• The compiler is GCC 4.2.4 (Ubuntu 4.2.4-1ubuntu4)

Users interested in developing their own scripts, or who are planning to install 3rd-party scripts, should see the the following documentation. These guides provide development guidelines and detailed information about FastVirtual's CGI support:
