Perl is a well-known language, which is used to set up various web apps and CGI scripts. A lot of programmers believe that it is one of the most effective programming languages in existence as it supports the use of modules - compact parts of code with pre-defined subroutines which are designed to execute a particular task. The modules can help you save lots of time and they will contribute to the quick speed of your sites as you are able to add only 1 line of code to call a certain module rather than using all of the code for the process in your script. Perl is a universal language most often used for scripts, but it's been used to generate many popular pieces of web software too, such as cPanel, BugZilla and Movable Type. It's also used on high-traffic websites like IMDB, Craigslist, Ticketmaster and many more.

Perl Scripting in Hosting

As Perl is set up on our cloud web hosting platform, you're able to run Perl/CGI scripts with any of our hosting packages without difficulty. You may also do this automatically through a cron job when your plan comes with this option. If not, you'll be able to add cron jobs from the Upgrades area of your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel. More than 3000 Perl modules are offered on our servers and you can use any of them with your scripts. The complete list can be found inside the Control Panel and when you want to use any module, you simply have to add the path to our module library within your script. When third-party scripts which you want to add to your website ask for a specific module, for example, you will not have to worry whether they will function efficiently or not. In this way, you are able to create a dynamic website and supply a huge selection of characteristics to your website visitors.

Perl Scripting in Semi-dedicated Hosting

All semi-dedicated services that we provide are capable of running CGI scripts or all other applications written in Perl and considering that cron jobs are included in all packages, you'll be able to choose if a certain script will be executed manually or automatically on a regular interval of time. What is more, you can use a vast library of over 3000 modules that are already installed on our servers and use their functions in order to save time when you write your scripts. In case you use a third-party Perl script, you can also be sure that if it needs a specific module so as to run properly, we'll have it as our library includes both widely used modules and less popular ones. You'll be able to view the path to the modules which you have to use in our scripts in the Server Information drop-down menu of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel.
