Perl is a popular computer language, that is employed to set up various web applications and CGI scripts. The majority of programmers believe that it is among the most effective languages out there as it supports the usage of modules - tiny parts of program code with pre-defined subroutines which are employed to perform a particular task. The modules can help you save a lot of time and they can contribute to the rapid loading speed of your websites as you're able to include just a single line of program code to call a specific module rather than using all of the code for the process within your script. Perl is a universal programming language normally used for scripts, but it's been employed to create lots of popular pieces of web software too, for example cPanel, BugZilla and Movable Type. It is also employed on high-traffic websites including IMDB, Craigslist, Ticketmaster and many more.

Perl Scripting in Shared Hosting

You'll be able to use CGI scripts and apps written in Perl with all of our shared hosting because we have a rich library of over 3000 modules installed on our custom-made cloud hosting platform in order to make sure that all the dependencies for a tailor-made or a pre-made script are there whenever you need them. You can run a .pl file in two separate ways - either manually via your website, or automatically via a cron job that will run a certain file on regular intervals. If the plan which you've acquired does not come with cron jobs included, you can easily add as many as you would like from the Upgrades menu within your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel. You also need to make sure that the script file features the needed executable permissions. Using our shared plans, you're able to build a site with as many functions and features as you'd like.

Perl Scripting in Semi-dedicated Hosting

All the semi-dedicated hosting services that we offer can run CGI scripts or various other apps developed in Perl and considering that cron jobs are featured in all of the plans, you are able to choose if a given script will be executed manually or automatically on regular basis. What's more, you can use a vast library of over 3000 modules that are already set up on our servers and use their features in order to save your time when you create your scripts. In the event that you use a third-party Perl script, you can also be sure that in case it needs a particular module so as to operate efficiently, we'll have it because our library includes both widely used modules and less popular ones. You'll be able to view the path to the modules that you need to use in our scripts under the Server Information drop-down menu of the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel.
