Perl is a widespread computer language, which is employed to build various web applications and CGI scripts. The majority of programmers consider it to be one of the most practical languages in existence as it supports the usage of modules - small pieces of program code with pre-defined subroutines that are employed to perform a particular task. The modules can save you lots of time and they can contribute to the rapid speed of your websites since you'll be able to integrate only 1 line of program code to call a certain module rather than using all the program code for the process within your script. Perl is a multi-functional language generally used for scripts, but it's been used to create many popular pieces of web software too, such as cPanel, BugZilla and Movable Type. It's also employed on high-traffic websites for instance IMDB, Craigslist, Ticketmaster and many others.

Perl Scripting in Shared Website Hosting

Since Perl is installed on our cloud hosting platform, you'll be able to run Perl/CGI scripts with all of our shared website hosting packages without difficulty. You may even do this automatically via a cron job when your package has this attribute. If not, you will be able to add cron jobs from the Upgrades section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. More than 3000 Perl modules can be accessed on our servers and you can use them with your scripts. The entire list is available inside the Control Panel and if you'd like to use any module, you just have to add the path to our module library in your script. In case third-party scripts that you need to add to your website demand a particular module, for instance, you won't need to worry whether they will run effectively or not. This way, you'll be able to make a dynamic site and supply numerous different attributes to your website visitors.

Perl Scripting in Semi-dedicated Hosting

All Linux semi-dedicated hosting packages that we offer can run CGI scripts or all other apps created in Perl and since cron jobs are a part of all of our packages, you are able to decide if a certain script will be executed manually or automatically on a regular interval of time. What is more, you can benefit from a large library of over 3000 modules that are already set up on our servers and use their functions to save time when you write your scripts. Provided you use some third-party Perl script, you can also be sure that in case it needs a particular module so as to work effectively, we will have it as our library contains both widespread modules and less popular ones. You're able to find the path to the modules that you should use in our scripts under the Server Information drop-down menu of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel.
