Perl is a popular scripting language that is regarded as being one of the most useful programming languages in the online world. It is feature-rich and it is used to create multiple web-based applications and CGI scripts. What differentiates Perl from most of the alternative languages on the internet is the support for modules - groups of commands for a certain task which can be included in a script by calling them which means that you are able to write just a single line in your script to get a module executed, rather than having the whole program code that is already included in the module anyway. As Perl supports various other languages and it comes with a lot of functions based on what a given application can do, it is employed by a number of well-known companies - the BBC, Craigslist, The Internet Movie Database (IMDB), cPanel, and many others.

Perl Scripting in Cloud Website Hosting

If you get a Linux cloud website hosting package through us, you are able to execute Perl/CGI scripts without any problems because we have numerous modules on the cloud hosting platform where all of the shared accounts are created. With each and every package, you will have access to over 3000 modules that you can employ in your scripts and you'll find the complete list within your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel along with the path that you need to use so as to get access to them. Should you use any kind of script which you have downloaded from some third-party site, you can rest assured that it'll function properly regardless of what modules it requires for that. Any kind of .pl script can be executed manually or you'll be able to create a cron job to do this automatically at a specific time interval. In case your web hosting package does not feature cron jobs, you are able to include this attribute with just a couple of clicks within the Upgrades section of the Control Panel.

Perl Scripting in Semi-dedicated Hosting

All the semi-dedicated hosting that we supply are capable of running CGI scripts or any other applications developed in Perl and considering that cron jobs are included in all the plans, you're able to decide if a certain script will be executed manually or automatically on regular basis. Also, you can use a vast 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. If you use some third-party Perl script, you can also be sure that if it needs some module in order to run effectively, we will have it since our library contains both widely used modules and less popular ones. You'll be able to see the path to the modules which you have to use in our scripts under the Server Information drop-down menu of your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel.
