Can't run PERL scripts on a shared server?

I've been trying to setup a connection w/ a shared server at
godaddy.com. The script won't work and when I called them they tell me
that because I don't have a dedicated server that I can't run a perl
script and so I need to upgrade my account. I can access the shared
server w/ PHP....why can't I do it w/ PERL? I've gotten bullsh*t
answers from tech support before so thought I'd check here to see if,
indeed, I need to upgrade my account or switch hosting providers. Is
tech support right?
