Web hosting security question

Hi,

Recently my has been hacked. A .pl script has been uploaded in the root of the directory, which uploaded lot of unwanted files and changed their file permission to 777.

I have no clue how did they upload that .pl file in my hosting.
Website is in shared hosting. Could they access my web root from other website which hosted in the same server?

Or any idea how could they reached my site root?
