You think that they'd let you have socket access? If they did that, they'd be sooooooo st000pid.

Alright, this is all theory, but I was wondering if anyone has tried, or knows of a project, to get a perl irc bot with some cgi on a tripod account? I figure it couldn't be terribly hard, if you could figure a way to get IRC:: on there or just code out the module yourself (take long, but it'd work). I just think it'd be interesting to see a perl/cgi bot running on a tripod or any other "free webhost" service thing. I know all the things suck fo webhosting, but if all you're doing is sticking a cgi program on there to run a bot from, and maybe a simple cgi front to configure things, it wouldn't be half bad.

Just a theory/fucked up idea I got. I'm thinking of taking either perlbot or bitchbot (both perl irc bots) and testing this once I learn perl/cgi a little better.

Well, Tripod probably restarts their servers at some point, so even if socks are enabled, your process would get killed. Also, the sysadmins would have to be smart enough to realize that there's a 24/7 cgi script running.
