You're kind of contradicting yourself, DoubleOK

You asked for a "script" that tells you certain information, but you don't want to install it? All scripts have to be installed in one form or another.

99% of hosts have perl setup so that it can be accessed with the following shebang line:

#!/usr/bin/perl

If you can telnet into your webspace provide, "which sendmail" and "which perl" will work without a script.

You could always try:

[code]
#!/bin/bash
echo -en "Content-type: text/html\n\n"
which sendmail; echo "<br>"
which perl; echo "<br>"
pwd

but doesnt that mean that i have to install that script, with the right address to perl? or how does that one work?

I wrote one of those once..Lemme look for it on my other computer, once I find it I will send it to you via e-mail.

There are quite a few scripts like this on the Internet. I just quickly checked cgi-resources.com and they have a number of them.

One the we use can be found out http://www.scriptsolutions.com/programs/free/perldiver/index.html

The script works well and it provides you with all the information you are requesting (and than some). It also tells you every module the host has installed which is also a very useful tool.
