Perl is a widely used programming language, which is used to make various web applications and CGI scripts. A lot of programmers consider it to be one of the most efficient programming languages nowadays as it supports the usage of modules - small parts of program code with pre-defined subroutines that are designed to execute a particular task. The modules will save you lots of time and they can contribute to the rapid loading speed of your sites since you'll be able to add only one line of code to call a given module rather than using all of the code for the task within your script. Perl is a multi-purpose language normally used for scripts, but it's been employed to generate a wide range of popular pieces of web software too, like cPanel, BugZilla and Movable Type. It is also employed on high-traffic websites which includes IMDB, Craigslist, Ticketmaster and many more.
Perl Scripting in Hosting
Since Perl is set up on our cloud web hosting platform, you'll be able to execute Perl/CGI scripts with all of our hosting packages without any difficulties. You can even do this automatically through a cron job if your package comes with this attribute. If not, you can include cron jobs through the Upgrades area of your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. More than 3000 Perl modules can be accessed on our servers and you can use any of them with your scripts. A complete list is available in the Control Panel and when you wish to use any module, you simply have to include the path to our module library within your script. In case third-party scripts which you would like to add to your website require a specific module, for instance, you will not need to worry if they will function effectively or not. In this way, you will be able to build a dynamic site and offer numerous different functions to your visitors.
Perl Scripting in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You will be able to use any Perl-based application, including CGI scripts, with any of the Linux semi-dedicated hosting services that we supply as Perl is supported on all our servers. You're able to make any kind of .pl file executable by setting the right UNIX permissions for it from your Hepsia Control Panel or through any FTP client and depending on the actual script, it can be run manually as a result of some action the client performs on your website, or automatically via a cron job which you can set up in your account. If you choose to use a script which you've found online and it requires specific modules to to be available on your server, you are able to take full advantage of our vast library that includes more than 3000 modules. Thus, you can be sure that any kind of Perl app that you write or find on the web will function properly on our end.
