Stupid question, /prog/

Hey /prog/, sorry for this stupid question but I am a bit of a baka and Google does nothing.

I'm looking for a web host to run an IRC bot from.  Trouble is, I'm not willing to pay for it, and every free web host I've checked will not allow IRC bots (for good reason, no doubt, but it's not really helping me now).  If there is an EXPERT in the audience, could you point me to a web host that supports perl and will let me run an IRC bot?

Thanks, or no thanks, depending on your responses.

REAL MEN make their own servers.

Protip: you're looking for a shell account, not a web host.

REAL BROKE STUDENTS rely on free shit.

LOL even paid-for shell account dont always allow irc bots.

Just leave your computer on 24/7, *BAM* server.

My computer is a laptop and I take it to class with me, which means that for eight hours at a time it will be offline or on a slow as fuck wireless connection.  If that were an option, I wouldn't be asking here, bro.

This has nothing to do with programming. Ask in /tech/.

>>9
slow as fuck wireless connection
IRC isn't exactly a bandwidth-intensive or latency-sensitive protocol.

>php

but OP wants Perl support

>>10
Can't hurt, I guess.  Sorry, this is the first place it occured to me to ask.

>>11
I don't think you grasp quite how bad my college's wireless internet is.

PING TIMEOUTS EVERYWHERE.

I can't seem to post to /tech/, lol.  And it's full of FrozenVirgin spam.

Trouble is, I'm not willing to pay for it

Yes, that is the trouble. Drop $5 over at VPSLink and GTFO.

Don't change these.
