Perl is a very popular computer language, which is employed to set up various web applications and CGI scripts. A number of programmers consider it to be among the most effective languages available as it supports the usage of modules - small parts of program code with pre-defined subroutines which are designed to execute a particular task. The modules can help you save a lot of time and they can contribute to the fast speed of your websites since you are able to add only one line of code to call a particular module instead of using all the code for the process in your script. Perl is a universal programming language most often used for scripts, but it has been used to create a number of popular pieces of web software as well, such as cPanel, BugZilla and Movable Type. It is also employed on high-traffic websites such as IMDB, Craigslist, Ticketmaster and many others.

Perl Scripting in Cloud Hosting

You can use CGI scripts and applications written in Perl with any of our cloud hosting plans as we have a rich library more than 3000 modules on our tailor-made cloud website hosting platform to make sure that all the dependencies for a tailor-made or a ready-made script are there whenever you need them. You are able to run a .pl file in two ways - either manually through your website, or automatically by using a cron job which will run a particular file regularly. In case the package which you've picked doesn't come with cron jobs included, you are able to add as many as you would like from the Upgrades menu inside your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. In addition, you need to ensure that the script file has the right executable permissions. When you use our shared plans, you are able to create a site with as many functions and features as you like.

Perl Scripting in Semi-dedicated Servers

All of the semi-dedicated hosting plans that we provide can run CGI scripts or any other applications written in Perl and considering the fact that cron jobs are a part of all the plans, you will be able to pick if a given script will be executed manually or automatically on regular basis. In addition, you can use a huge library of more than 3000 modules which are already installed on our servers and use their features so as to save your time when you create your scripts. In case you use some third-party Perl script, you can also be sure that if it requires a particular module in order to run efficiently, we'll have it because our library features both popular modules and less popular ones. You can see the path to the modules which you should use in our scripts in the Server Information drop-down menu of the Hepsia hosting Control Panel.
