Perl Scripting
Perl is among the most popular programming languages today. Why do millions of developers use it?
Perl is a widely used computer language, which is used to create various web apps and CGI scripts. Many programmers believe that it is among the most efficient programming languages nowadays as it supports the use of modules - small bits 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 rapid loading speed of your sites because you are able to include just a single line of program code to call a given module instead of using all of the code for the task in your script. Perl is a versatile language generally used for scripts, but it's been employed to create a wide range of popular pieces of web software too, for instance cPanel, BugZilla and Movable Type. It's also employed on high-traffic websites for example IMDB, Craigslist, Ticketmaster and many others.

Perl Scripting in Website Hosting
You can use CGI scripts and apps written in Perl with all our
Linux website hosting packages as we have a rich library of over 3000 modules on our custom-made cloud website hosting platform in order to ensure that all the dependencies for a tailor-made or a ready-made script are there when you need them. You'll be able to run a .pl file in two ways - either manually through your website, or automatically by using a cron job that will run a specific file on regular intervals. In the event that the plan that you've obtained does not come with cron jobs included, you will be able to include as many as you would like from the Upgrades menu within your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. In addition, you need to make sure that the script file features the proper executable permissions. Using our shared plans, you are able to build a site with as many functions and features as you'd like.

Perl Scripting in Semi-dedicated Hosting
All
Linux semi-dedicated packages that we provide can run CGI scripts or various other applications developed in Perl and considering the fact that cron jobs are featured in all of our plans, you'll be able to pick if a certain script will be executed manually or automatically on regular basis. In addition, you can take advantage of a vast library of more than 3000 modules which are already set up on our servers and use their functionality to save your time when you create your scripts. In case you use some third-party Perl script, you can also be sure that in case it requires some module so as to function effectively, we'll have it because our library includes both widely used modules and less popular ones. You're able to see the path to the modules which you have to use in our scripts in the Server Information drop-down menu of the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel.
