What are you searching for? When I google "perl catalyst", the top hit
is
http://www.catalystframework.org/
Which I think answers all of your questions.

If you're not up on your Perl skills, you'll need to study up. Catalyst
isn't that hard, but it does assume that you know Perl.

No, because those things vary from one server to the next. You'll need
to ask your admin or hosting provider what values to enter.

No, because no one here knows what types of files *you* want to allow
for this. That's not a decision that relates to Perl programming - it's
a question of policy that the site owner needs to answer.

I've asked them more info about the reason why of their strange
decision... I'll see their reply.
Also, awaiting this, and knbowing I don't see any separated error.log
anywhere, I've tried to catch the error using :
use CGI::Carp qw/fatalsToBrowser/;
And it doesn't work : nothing special on browser's screen ? Does-it
means there again a special config on their side ?

If -T is causing it to fail, it's pretty just like having invalid syntax
that would cause the script to error rather than execute. It can't
report an error in that way, if the script can't run. So, you'd have
it fail and error in a way that wouldn't relate to showing errors via
CGI::Carp, I'm sorry to say. That's not going to allow you to see
why/the error. Ask them where the error logs are located. Do you have
shell/ssh access? Do you have any control panel or interface where you
can view logs, or download them via FTP, or anything? Ultimately, you
should just get a better web host that understands the advantages to
allowing Taint (I honestly can't conceive of a reason why a host would
make an effort to NOT allow something that only helps their clients
create more secure scripts. I'd worry about what else they've done (or
have not done) that affects stability, security and efficiency).

Thanks Sherm and Peter. I have another query. I have seen in some

that these are HTML constants. Is my understanding correct? and how is
