Perl is a widely used language, which is employed to create various web apps and CGI scripts. Lots of programmers believe that it is among the most practical languages these days since it supports the use of modules - compact parts of code with pre-defined subroutines that are employed to perform a certain task. The modules will save you lots of time and they will contribute to the fast loading speed of your sites because you'll be able to integrate only 1 line of code to call a given module instead of using all of the program code for the process within your script. Perl is a multi-functional language primarily used for scripts, but it has been employed to generate a lot of popular pieces of web software too, for instance cPanel, BugZilla and Movable Type. It's also employed on high-traffic sites including IMDB, Craigslist, Ticketmaster and many more.
Perl Scripting in Cloud Web Hosting
Since Perl is installed on our cloud hosting platform, you can run Perl/CGI scripts with any of our cloud web hosting packages without any difficulties. You can also do this automatically through a cron job when your plan comes with this option. If not, you are able to include cron jobs via the Upgrades area of your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. More than 3000 Perl modules are offered on our servers and you will be able to use them with your scripts. The entire list is available inside the Control Panel and when you'd like to use any module, you only have to add the path to our module library within your script. In case third-party scripts that you want to include in your site demand a certain module, for example, you don't need to worry if they will function effectively or not. This way, you are able to make a dynamic Internet site and supply various features to your targeted visitors.
Perl Scripting in Semi-dedicated Servers
All the Linux semi-dedicated servers that we offer can run CGI scripts or any other apps developed in Perl and considering the fact that cron jobs are featured in all packages, you'll be able to pick if a given script will be executed manually or automatically on a regular interval of time. You can also take advantage of a vast library of over 3000 modules that are already set up on our servers and use their features in order to save time when you write 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 to operate efficiently, we'll have it as our library includes both widespread modules and less popular ones. You are able to view the path to the modules that you have to use in our scripts under the Server Information drop-down menu of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel.
