Perl is a widely used scripting language which is regarded as being one of the most useful languages in the online world. It's feature-rich and it is used to create a variety of web-based apps and CGI scripts. What differentiates Perl from most of the other languages out there is its compatibility with modules - sets of commands for a specific job that can be integrated into a script by calling them i.e. you're able to write just one line within your script to get an entire module executed, instead of having the entire code that is already included in the module anyway. As Perl is compatible with a lot of other programming languages and it comes with a lot of options depending on what a given application can do, it's employed by numerous well-known companies - the BBC, Craigslist, The Internet Movie Database (IMDB), cPanel, and so on.

Perl Scripting in Web Hosting

As Perl is installed on our cloud hosting platform, you can execute Perl/CGI scripts with all of our web hosting plans without difficulty. You can also do this automatically via a cron job if your plan has this option. If not, you'll be able to include cron jobs through the Upgrades area of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Over 3000 Perl modules are present on our servers and you can use any of them with your scripts. The entire list is available inside the Control Panel and if you'd like to use any module, you just have to add the path to our module library within your script. If third-party scripts which you want to add to your website ask for a certain module, for example, you don't need to worry if they will operate properly or not. This way, you are able to create a dynamic Internet site and supply numerous different attributes to your visitors.

Perl Scripting in Semi-dedicated Hosting

All of the Linux semi-dedicated hosting that we offer are capable of running CGI scripts or any other applications written in Perl and due to the fact that cron jobs are part of all of our plans, you can pick if a certain 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 set up on our servers and use their features to save your time when you create your scripts. In the event that you use some third-party Perl script, you can also be sure that if it requires some module in order to function effectively, we'll have it since our library features both popular modules and less popular ones. You're able to view the path to the modules which you have to use in our scripts under the Server Information drop-down menu of your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel.
