Perl Scripting
Perl is one of the most popular programming languages nowadays. Why do many millions of developers work with it?
Perl is an efficient programming language that is widely used for creating CGI scripts along with a variety of web-based apps. Among its major advantages is that it works with modules - ready-made batches of code which are employed to execute numerous tasks and to enhance the functionality of a certain script without slowing it with unnecessary lines of program code. To put it simply, in the event that five tasks have to be executed, you can employ five lines of program code in order to call each of the modules instead of adding a couple of hundred lines used to create the actual modules within your script. Perl is very handy and it may be used for a variety of purposes, so a lot of corporations have implemented it in their web products or on their resource-demanding sites - cPanel, IMDB, Craigslist, BugZilla, BBC and many more. It is generally used along with other programming languages for instance PHP or Python.

Provided you get a
cloud hosting from our company, you'll be able to execute Perl/CGI scripts without a problem because we have a lot of modules installed on the cloud hosting platform where the shared accounts are generated. With every single plan, you'll get access to more than 3000 modules which you're able to use in your scripts and you will find the whole list within your Hepsia hosting Control Panel together with the path which you should use in order to gain access to them. Should you use any script which you've downloaded from some third-party site, you can be sure that it will run flawlessly regardless of what modules it needs for that. Every .pl script can be executed manually or you can create a cron job to do this automatically at a specific time interval. In case your web hosting package doesn't feature cron jobs, you can include this option with just a couple of clicks within the Upgrades section of your Control Panel.

Perl Scripting in Semi-dedicated Servers
All
semi-dedicated servers that we offer can run CGI scripts or all other applications developed in Perl and due to the fact that cron jobs are included in all the plans, you're able to choose if a certain script will be executed manually or automatically on a regular interval of time. In addition, you can use a huge library of more than 3000 modules which are already installed on our servers and use their functions to save time when you write your scripts. Provided you use some third-party Perl script, you can also be sure that if it requires a specific module in order to function efficiently, we'll have it since our library includes both widespread modules and less popular ones. You're able to view the path to the modules which you should use in our scripts in the Server Information drop-down menu of the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel.
