From DreamHost
Movable Type is a perl CGI script for running a web log on your site. Movable type can be used on all DreamHost plans (all plans include the necessary perl/cgi/mysql requirements), but we do not officially "support" it ourselves.
If you have MT problems or questions, you can post to our Discussion Board and hopefully other Happy DreamHost Customers will be able to give you a hand!

I get an error with File::Spec when using Movable Type!
First, a VERY useful thread about this at movabletype's message board.
Movable Type requires a pretty new version of the perl module "File::Spec" to run. Although most of our machines have it, some do not. You can download the newest version of File::Spec and install it in your home directory though, and then no matter what version is on our server, your Movable Type installation will continue to work!
Go to http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/File/ and get the file that is something like File-Spec-0.82.tar.gz.
Download this to your home directory and then untar it. Copy the perl files into a directory in your home directory and then add the appropriate "use lib" command to your MT installation!
If these instructions are a bit over your head, please try asking people at our discussion board or the Movable Type one for more help!
