Hi Guys,

Any direction would be great.

Your system should have perl. Do you know what version of cPanel you're using?

cPanel is largely written in Perl and relies upon it to function. You can see which version of Perl is installed by using the -v switch:

$ perl -v

Are you perhaps asking about mod_perl? Normally, mod_perl is not built into Apache on a cPanel server, but it can be built in using EasyApache. Also, EasyApache will build mod_mono, which supports ASP.NET but not classic ASP.

If you can give more details about what exactly your sites require, we may be able to give you more specific guidance.
