What's up with Perl?

[oleg24]

I've uploaded a simple Perl script, which is giving me 403:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict; 
use CGI;

my $query = new CGI;

print $query->header("text/html");

print <<"END";
Hello!
END

I made sure that the script http://x.olego.com/footer.pl is chmod'ed to 0755, but that didn't help, either. Do I need to explicitly enable something in .htaccess?

PERL is currently disabled on free hosting servers.

D'oh! I must've misread the chart in the past--I was convinced that it was supported!

Thanks!

Hello,

I don't think we've supported perl on free since I've been here, which is about 2+ years now.
