What we see with Perl and CGI
Perl scripts and CGI programs that quietly run forms, reports and back-office jobs.
Typical situations:
- A directory of scripts that handles orders or forms and has never been touched.
- CPAN modules installed by hand on an old server.
- A server that cannot be rebuilt because nobody knows what is on it.
What we do
- List the scripts, the modules they use and the jobs that call them.
- Make a recoverable copy of the whole environment.
- Review what should be kept as is and what should be moved.
What this includes
Perl and CGI scripts, CPAN modules, cron jobs and flat-file or database storage.
By arrangement
Perl and CGI is supported by arrangement. We start with a Takeover Assessment to see what you have and what is feasible. For this stack we may bring in a specialist for part of the work, and we say so in the written scope and the quote before anything begins. We will tell you plainly if we are not the right fit.
Every engagement starts read-only. We write write-access terms into a signed agreement first, and a person reviews every change before it reaches a live system. Our work is AI-assisted and human-reviewed, and we tell you how at the start.
Tell us about your Perl and CGI software and we will reply by email with what we would look at first.
