Perl is a well-liked scripting language that is regarded as one of the most practical languages on the Internet. It's feature-rich and it's used to set up a number of web-based applications and CGI scripts. What distinguishes Perl from most of the alternative languages on the web is the compatibility with modules - groups of commands for a certain job that can be integrated into a script by calling them i.e. you can write just a single line within your script to get an entire module executed, instead of having the entire code which is already a part of the module anyway. Since Perl can be used with a lot of other programming languages and it comes with a lot of functions depending on what a specific app can do, it is used by many popular companies - the BBC, Craigslist, The Internet Movie Database (IMDB), cPanel, etcetera.

Perl Scripting in Web Hosting

Since Perl is installed on our cloud web hosting platform, you will be able to execute Perl/CGI scripts with all of our web hosting plans without any difficulties. You may even do this automatically by using a cron job when your plan includes this attribute. If not, you can include cron jobs through the Upgrades section of your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. More than 3000 Perl modules are available on our servers and you can use any of them with your scripts. The entire list can be found inside the Control Panel and when you need to use any module, you only 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 demand a specific module, for instance, you do not need to worry if they will operate efficiently or not. This way, you'll be able to create a dynamic website and provide a huge selection of functions to your targeted visitors.

Perl Scripting in Semi-dedicated Hosting

All of the semi-dedicated services that we offer can run CGI scripts or various other apps created in Perl and considering that cron jobs are included in all our packages, you will be able to select if a given script will be executed manually or automatically on a regular interval of time. What is more, you can use a huge library of more than 3000 modules which are already installed on our servers and use their features so as 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 some module to function effectively, we will have it since our library features both widely used modules and less popular ones. You're able to view the path to the modules which you should use in our scripts under the Server Information drop-down menu of your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel.
