Dear Hotkitty,

your question has nothing to do with Perl and we (this newsgroup)
cannot do much. Perl is a software piece and the fact that your
provider installs it and makes it available is only a matter of what
they want to offer.

There is no technical reason to give you access or not to a Perl
interpreter just marketing. If you are unhappy look for another
provider.
