Perl is a well-known computer language, that is employed to create various web apps and CGI scripts. Lots of programmers consider it to be among the most efficient languages nowadays as it supports the usage of modules - tiny bits of program code with pre-defined subroutines that are employed to execute a particular task. The modules can help you save a lot of time and they will contribute to the rapid speed of your sites as you are able to integrate only one line of program code to call a specific module rather than using all of the program code for the process in your script. Perl is a versatile programming language primarily used for scripts, but it's been employed to create a number of popular pieces of web software as well, such as cPanel, BugZilla and Movable Type. It's also used on high-traffic sites for example IMDB, Craigslist, Ticketmaster and many others.

Perl Scripting in Website Hosting

If you buy a website hosting through us, you'll be able to execute Perl/CGI scripts without a problem since we have numerous modules installed on the cloud hosting platform where all of the shared accounts are created. With each package, you'll get access to more than 3000 modules that you're able to employ in your scripts and you'll find the entire list within your Hepsia hosting Control Panel along with the path that you should use in order to be able to access them. Should you use any kind of script that you have downloaded from a third-party site, you can be sure that it will run perfectly no matter what modules it needs for that. Any kind of .pl script can be executed manually or you will be able to create a cron job to do this automatically at a given time interval. In case your website hosting plan doesn't include cron jobs, you will be able to include this attribute with just a couple of clicks in the Upgrades area of your Control Panel.

Perl Scripting in Semi-dedicated Servers

All the Linux semi-dedicated plans that we supply can run CGI scripts or all other apps written in Perl and considering that cron jobs are a part of all the plans, you are able to decide if a certain script will be executed manually or automatically on a regular interval of time. You can also benefit from a large library of over 3000 modules which are already set up on our servers and use their functionality so as to save your time when you create your scripts. Provided you use a third-party Perl script, you can also be sure that in case it needs a specific module to work efficiently, we will have it since our library includes both widespread modules and less popular ones. You'll be able to view the path to the modules which you need to use in our scripts under the Server Information drop-down menu of your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel.
