Perl is a very popular programming language, that is used to create various web apps and CGI scripts. Lots of programmers believe that it is one of the most efficient languages these days as it supports the usage of modules - small parts of code with pre-defined subroutines that are designed to perform a certain task. The modules can save you a lot of time and they can contribute to the rapid speed of your sites as you are able to include only one line of program code to call a certain module instead of using all the code for the process in your script. Perl is a multi-purpose programming language generally used for scripts, but it has been employed to generate a wide range of popular pieces of web software too, for example cPanel, BugZilla and Movable Type. It is also used on high-traffic sites like IMDB, Craigslist, Ticketmaster and many more.
Perl Scripting in Cloud Web Hosting
As Perl is installed on our cloud website hosting platform, you can run Perl/CGI scripts with all of our cloud web hosting packages without any difficulties. You can even do this automatically by using a cron job when your plan has this attribute. If not, you're able to include cron jobs from the Upgrades area of your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. Over 3000 Perl modules can be found on our servers and you can use all of them with your scripts. A complete list can be found inside the Control Panel and if you wish to use any module, you just have to add the path to our module library in your script. When third-party scripts that you need to add to your site ask for a particular module, for instance, you will not need to worry if they will operate effectively or not. In this way, you're able to make a dynamic website and supply various functions to your site visitors.
Perl Scripting in Semi-dedicated Servers
All Linux semi-dedicated plans that we offer are capable of running CGI scripts or all other apps created in Perl and since 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 regular basis. In addition, you can benefit from a large library of over 3000 modules which are already installed on our servers and use their features so as to save time when you write your scripts. In the event that you use some third-party Perl script, you can also be sure that in case it requires some module to run effectively, we'll have it as our library features both popular modules and less popular ones. You'll be able to find the path to the modules which you have to use in our scripts in the Server Information drop-down menu of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel.
