Perl is a well-liked scripting language that is considered to be one of the most practical programming languages on the Internet. It's feature-rich and it is used to set up various web-based apps and CGI scripts. What differentiates Perl from most of the alternative languages out there is the support for modules - sets of commands for a specific process that can be integrated into a script just by calling them i.e. you are able to write only one line inside your script to get a module executed, rather than having the whole code which is already included in the module anyway. Since Perl supports numerous other languages and it comes with a lot of functions depending on what a particular app can do, it is used by many renowned companies - the BBC, Craigslist, The Internet Movie Database (IMDB), cPanel, and so on.
Perl Scripting in Cloud Web 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 cloud web hosting packages without difficulty. You may also do this automatically through a cron job if your package includes this feature. If not, you're able to 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 will be able to use them with your scripts. A complete list can be found inside the Control Panel and when you want to use any module, you only have to add the path to our module library inside your script. In case third-party scripts which you need to add to your site demand a certain module, for instance, you don't have to worry if they will work efficiently or not. In this way, you'll be able to build a dynamic Internet site and provide plenty of options to your site visitors.
Perl Scripting in Semi-dedicated Hosting
You're able to work with any Perl-based app, including CGI scripts, with all of the Linux semi-dedicated packages that we offer as Perl is supported on our servers. You will be able to make each .pl file executable by setting the correct UNIX permissions for it in the Hepsia Control Panel or through any kind of FTP client and in accordance with the actual script, it can be run manually as a result of some action your client performs on the website, or automatically via a cron job that you can create inside your account. Provided you want to employ a script which you've found online and it needs particular modules to be present on the server, you are able to benefit from our rich library that features more than 3000 modules. Thus, you can be sure that any kind of Perl application that you generate or find on the Internet will function properly on our end.
