Perl is a well-known language, that is employed to create various web applications and CGI scripts. Lots of programmers consider it to be among the most effective languages in existence because it supports the usage of modules - small pieces of program code with pre-defined subroutines which are used to execute a specific task. The modules will save you time and effort and they can contribute to the rapid loading speed of your websites since you'll be able to add just one line of program code to call a specific module rather than using all of the code for the process in your script. Perl is a universal language often used for scripts, but it has been employed to generate lots of popular pieces of web software too, for example cPanel, BugZilla and Movable Type. It is also employed on high-traffic sites for example IMDB, Craigslist, Ticketmaster and many others.
Perl Scripting in Cloud Website Hosting
You'll be able to use CGI scripts and apps written in Perl with any of our Linux cloud website hosting as we have a rich library more than 3000 modules present on our custom cloud hosting platform to make sure that all dependencies for a tailor-made or a pre-made script will be there whenever you need them. You'll be able to run a .pl file in two separate ways - either manually via your site, or automatically through a cron job which will run a specific file on regular intervals. If the plan which you've obtained doesn't come with cron jobs included, you can easily add as many as you need from the Upgrades menu in your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel. You also need to make sure that the script file is provided with the right executable permissions. With our shared plans, you can create a site with as many functions and features as you would like.
Perl Scripting in Semi-dedicated Hosting
All the semi-dedicated hosting that we provide are capable of running CGI scripts or various other apps created in Perl and due to the fact that cron jobs are part of all the plans, you're able to select if a certain script will be executed manually or automatically on regular basis. Also, you can take advantage of a vast library of more than 3000 modules which are already set up on our servers and use their functions so as to save your time when you create your scripts. Provided you use some third-party Perl script, you can also be sure that if it requires a particular module so as to work efficiently, we'll have it since our library includes both widely used modules and less popular ones. You can view the path to the modules that you should use in our scripts in the Server Information drop-down menu of your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel.
