Perl is a widely used programming language, which is employed to create various web applications and CGI scripts. The majority of programmers consider it to be one of the most practical languages available because it supports the usage of modules - small pieces of code with pre-defined subroutines that are employed to perform a specific task. The modules will save you lots of time and they will contribute to the fast speed of your websites as you are able to integrate just a single line of program code to call a given module instead of using all of the program code for the task in your script. Perl is a universal language often used for scripts, but it has been employed to create a variety of popular pieces of web software too, such as cPanel, BugZilla and Movable Type. It is also used on high-traffic sites including IMDB, Craigslist, Ticketmaster and many more.

Perl Scripting in Hosting

As Perl is installed on our cloud web hosting platform, you can execute Perl/CGI scripts with all of our hosting packages without difficulty. You may even do this automatically via a cron job when your plan has this option. If not, you can include cron jobs via the Upgrades section of your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel. More than 3000 Perl modules are present on our servers and you will be able to use all of them with your scripts. A full list can be found inside the Control Panel and when you wish to use any module, you simply have to add the path to our module library in your script. If third-party scripts that you would like to add to your website ask for a particular module, for example, you will not have to worry whether they will run properly or not. This way, you are able to make a dynamic Internet site and offer numerous different features to your targeted visitors.

Perl Scripting in Semi-dedicated Servers

All of the semi-dedicated hosting plans that we supply can run CGI scripts or all other apps created in Perl and since cron jobs are a part of all the packages, you're able to pick if a certain script will be executed manually or automatically on regular basis. What is more, you can take advantage of a huge library of more than 3000 modules that are already installed on our servers and use their features in order to save time when you create your scripts. In the event that you use some third-party Perl script, you can also be sure that in case it needs a particular module in order to function effectively, we will have it because our library includes both widespread modules and less popular ones. You will be able to see the path to the modules which you should use in our scripts under the Server Information drop-down menu of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel.
