Install Perl modules required by CGI scripts and legacy applications in cPanel.

If you run Perl CGI scripts on your DanumHost hosting, you may need additional Perl modules beyond the server defaults. cPanel provides a module installer for this purpose.

Install a Perl module

  1. Go to Software → Perl Modules.
  2. Search for the module name your script requires (for example CGI, LWP, or DBI).
  3. Click Install next to the module.
  4. Wait for installation to complete and verify your script runs without module errors.

Troubleshooting

If a script reports a missing module, check the exact module name in the error message. Some scripts require specific versions — contact DanumHost support if a module is unavailable on your server.

Note

Most modern sites use PHP rather than Perl. Only install modules you actively need to keep your environment maintainable.
