Is it possible to run Perl script in web server without using CGI?
I mean, like php scripts (run any .pl file without #!/path/to/interpreter line).
If Yes, How?
Thanks

3You haven't given quite enough context in your question; it's only from your comment below that it's absolutely clear you want to do this in a webserver context. Which webserver are you using?itsbruce– itsbruce2012-10-30 13:15:10 +00:00Commented Oct 30, 2012 at 13:15

It is not safe to rely on tags with no other context; they may have been added by somebody else, who may have made an incorrect assumptionitsbruce– itsbruce2012-10-30 13:38:01 +00:00Commented Oct 30, 2012 at 13:38

Take a look at PSGI/Plack. It's Perl <--> web server without CGI.
PSGI is an interface between Perl web applications and web servers, and Plack is a Perl module and toolkit that contains PSGI middleware, helpers and adapters to web servers.
PSGI and Plack are inspired by Python's WSGI and Ruby's Rack.

yes, with the Action directive:
AddHandler perl-files .pl
Action perl-files /path/to/perl/interpreter

I'm talking about the web server (apache) ! not terminal run.

@4r1y4n I guessed that, but you should have said that clearly in your question.
Ariyan
I said that ("web server")! and in question tags there are apache & module; anyway thanks

Should I load
mod_perl for this solution too?Yes. If you are using Apache, the canonical way to do this is to use mod_perl.
Note: mod_perl is more than just a Perl handler for Apache; it provides a standard interface (and many helper functions) for communicating with the webserver.
