Perl is a well-known computer language, which is used to make various web apps and CGI scripts. A lot of programmers believe that it is among the most practical programming languages these days as it supports the usage of modules - compact pieces of program code with pre-defined subroutines that are employed to perform a particular task. The modules will save you lots of time and they will contribute to the quick loading speed of your sites as you're able to add just one line of code to call a particular module rather than using all the code for the process within your script. Perl is a universal language often used for scripts, but it has been employed to create numerous popular pieces of web software as well, for instance cPanel, BugZilla and Movable Type. It's also employed on high-traffic sites for example IMDB, Craigslist, Ticketmaster and many more.

Perl Scripting in Hosting

Since Perl is installed on our cloud website hosting platform, you can execute Perl/CGI scripts with all of our hosting packages without difficulty. You can also do this automatically through a cron job if your package includes this feature. If not, you are able to add cron jobs through the Upgrades section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. More than 3000 Perl modules can be accessed on our servers and you'll be able to use them with your scripts. A complete list can be found inside 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 which you want to add to your website ask for a specific module, for example, you won't have to worry whether they will run properly or not. In this way, you'll be able to make a dynamic Internet site and offer numerous different attributes to your visitors.

Perl Scripting in Semi-dedicated Servers

You're able to take advantage of every Perl-based application, including CGI scripts, with all of the semi-dedicated servers that we supply as Perl is supported on all our servers. You're able to make each .pl file executable by setting the correct UNIX permissions for it in the Hepsia Control Panel or through any FTP client and in accordance with the actual script, it can be executed manually as a result of some action the client performs on your website, or automatically through a cron job that you can set up in your account. In case you want to use a script which you've found online and it needs certain modules to be present on your server, you can reap the benefits of our vast library that includes more than 3000 modules. This way, you can rest assured that any type of Perl application that you write or find on the worldwide web will perform properly on our end.
