Perl is a well-liked scripting language which is regarded as being one of the most practical programming languages on the Internet. It's feature-rich and it's used to set up a number of web-based apps and CGI scripts. What differentiates Perl from most of the alternative languages on the web is its support for modules - groups of commands for a particular process that can be included in a script just by calling them which means that you can write just a single line within your script to have a module executed, instead of having the whole code which is already included in the module anyway. Since Perl supports numerous other programming languages and it provides a lot of options depending on what a given app can do, it's used by numerous renowned companies - the BBC, Craigslist, The Internet Movie Database (IMDB), cPanel, and so on.

Perl Scripting in Cloud Hosting

Since Perl is installed on our cloud hosting platform, you will be able to run Perl/CGI scripts with all of our cloud hosting plans without any difficulties. You may also do this automatically via a cron job when your plan comes with this attribute. If not, you are able to include cron jobs from the Upgrades section of your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel. Over 3000 Perl modules can be found on our servers and you will be able to use any of them with your scripts. The complete list can be found in the Control Panel and if you want to use any module, you simply have to include the path to our module library inside your script. When third-party scripts that you need to include in your website ask for a certain module, for example, you will not have to worry if they will operate efficiently or not. In this way, you will be able to create a dynamic Internet site and supply hundreds of different attributes to your website visitors.

Perl Scripting in Semi-dedicated Servers

All Linux semi-dedicated servers that we provide can run CGI scripts or various other applications created in Perl and considering the fact that cron jobs are included in all of our packages, you will be able to choose if a certain script will be executed manually or automatically on regular basis. What is more, you can use a large library of more than 3000 modules which are already installed on our servers and use their features to save time when you create your scripts. Provided you use some third-party Perl script, you can also be sure that in case it requires some module so as to function effectively, we will have it since our library features both popular modules and less popular ones. You're able to find the path to the modules which you have to use in our scripts in the Server Information drop-down menu of your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel.
