Running a code in Perl for a while online - is it possible?
As the title suggests, I'm looking for an online Perl executor. Yes, I know http://c开发者_开发技巧odepad.org/ and http://ideone.com/ can execute Perl scripts online, but I'm looking for something different, so please let me tell you exactly what I'm doing:
I wish to retrieve information from a website say, every 10 or 15 minutes. The information is plain text, and not very big in size. The problem is, that I want to do that for a long period of time, and not always can I leave the computer open for it to run. So what I thought about, is that maybe such a service exists, to which you enter a code, and it starts executing it, while simultaneously printing the current result. I will be given a unique address, and every time I visit it I will see the program's progress.
Does such a thing exists? How can I do what I wish to do?
Thank you in advance.
One option you have is renting some hosting with a provider that allows you to run a perl script through cron
.
Here are a few cloud providers which support Perl. dotcloud claims to have a free tier.
