Perl is a widely used scripting language that is considered to be one of the most useful languages on the web. It is feature-rich and it's used to set up multiple web-based apps and CGI scripts. What differentiates Perl from most of the other languages on the internet is the support for modules - sets of commands for a specific task that can be included in a script by simply calling them which means that you're able to write just a single line inside your script to get a module executed, rather than having the whole code which is already a part of the module anyway. As Perl supports various other programming languages and it features a lot of functions depending on what a particular app can do, it is used by a number of famous companies - the BBC, Craigslist, The Internet Movie Database (IMDB), cPanel, etcetera.

Perl Scripting in Website Hosting

As Perl is set up on our cloud web hosting platform, you'll be able to run Perl/CGI scripts with all of our website hosting packages without difficulty. You may also do this automatically by using a cron job if your plan comes with this feature. If not, you'll be able to include cron jobs from the Upgrades section of your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel. Over 3000 Perl modules are present on our servers and you can use all of them with your scripts. The full list is available in the Control Panel and when you'd like to use any module, you only have to include the path to our module library in your script. When third-party scripts that you need to include in your site demand a certain module, for instance, you won't need to worry whether they will function efficiently or not. In this way, you will be able to make a dynamic site and provide plenty of functions to your site visitors.

Perl Scripting in Semi-dedicated Hosting

All of the Linux semi-dedicated hosting that we offer can run CGI scripts or various other apps created in Perl and due to the fact that cron jobs are part of all packages, you will be able to choose if a certain script will be executed manually or automatically on regular basis. You can also take advantage of a vast library of over 3000 modules that are already set up on our servers and use their functions in order to save time when you write your scripts. Provided you use some third-party Perl script, you can also be sure that if it needs a specific module in order to run properly, we'll have it because our library features both popular modules and less popular ones. You're able to view the path to the modules that you have to use in our scripts in the Server Information drop-down menu of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel.
