Can someone recommend a good ISP that keeps up with Perl? Right

they refuse to upgrade because, and I quote,

Of course, making this perl behave well with mod_perl/etc. is a massive
undertaking.
That put aside, maintaining a Virtual Private Server (VPS), which is for-all-
practical-purposes a server, is considerably harder than maintaining an ssh
account, and requires one to be a good system administrator if you don't want
to get cracked. I was told that most good programmers do not make good system
administrators (despite the fact that all clueful system administrators need
to know how to code and write scripts and other stuff), because it's a very
different mentality. So I would suggest you find a better ssh-hosting, unless
you are sure you can actively maintain a proper VPS.

she said: "Is it something like Wikipedia?".
