You need to have perl installed on the local system that you use to develop the scripts. Once the script is ready to put into production, you can compile it and run it on systems that don't have perl.

Only if you can find a computer that already has it installed.

There do exist hosting companies offering accounts on shared servers,
or dedicated servers or virtual servers.

Many such services will have Perl pre-installed.

Most such services will be significantly more expensive than the cost
of a cheap second-hand PC.

Here is one way to do it. The article points the way to encapsulate
perl, the perl library, everything needed to run as a stand-alone
executable on a PC. A very clever idea that simon cozens came up with.

I re-read the request of this original posting and this doesn't answer
that directly, but it gives some new ideas, maybe.
