Perl is a popular scripting language which is used to build different web-oriented applications, which includes CGI scripts. Among the features which distinguish it from many other programming languages is the usage of modules - parts of Perl code which perform predefined jobs and they're universally accepted. Basically, rather than writing tailor-made code to perform something or pasting tens and hundreds of lines of program code inside your script, you're able to "call" a module that already exists for this specific job and use just a couple of lines of code. Due to this fact, your script will be executed more rapidly as it is much smaller. Using modules will also make the script simpler to modify as you will need to go through a smaller amount of code. In case you would like to use Perl on your site, you need to make sure that the required modules are available on the server.

Over 3400 Perl Modules in Shared Hosting

All of our shared hosting feature over 3400 Perl modules that you'll be able to use as a part of your CGI scripts or web-based apps. They include both widely used and less popular ones, in order to offer you a choice with regard to what functions you'll be able to add to your sites. Some examples are Apache::SOAP, CGI::Session, GD, Image::Magick, URI, LWP and a lot more. The whole list is available in the Server Information section of our in-house built Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with all the shared accounts. In the same place, you can see the Perl version that we have as well as the path to the modules that you'll have to use inside your scripts so as to call a certain module from our library.

Over 3400 Perl Modules in Semi-dedicated Hosting

With more than 3400 Perl modules pre-installed on our cloud hosting platform, you're able to manage almost any script app developed in this programming language without a problem irrespective of the semi-dedicated server package that you select. The aforementioned applies for both pre-made applications which you find online and for in-house built ones which you develop. We provide such a large number of modules for two reasons - first, to provide you with a selection in respect to what characteristics you'll be able to add to your apps and websites and secondly, to make sure that when you'd like to work with a ready script, it'll run flawlessly whatever the modules it will require. For this reason, most of the modules inside our library are very popular while others are employed very rarely. You'll find a list of all modules within your web hosting Control Panel in addition to the access path which your scripts need in order to use these modules.
