What are you doing wrong? You're using Perl. It's not enabled on Free Hosting accounts. The only scripting language you can use with Free Hosting is PHP.

are you sure? i assumed it does, since a mod explains to somebody in free hosting how to use it in this thread
Running perl with CRON
i'm confused about that
