Perl is a very popular scripting language that is considered to be one of the most useful languages on the Internet. It's feature-rich and it's used to generate a number of web-based applications and CGI scripts. What differentiates Perl from most of the other languages on the market is the support for modules - groups of commands for a particular process that can be included in a script by simply calling them which means that you'll be able to write a single line in your script to get a whole module executed, instead of having the entire code that's already a part of the module anyway. As Perl can be used with numerous other languages and it provides a lot of functions depending on what a given application can do, it is used by numerous famous companies - the BBC, Craigslist, The Internet Movie Database (IMDB), cPanel, etc.

Perl Scripting in Shared Hosting

You'll be able to use CGI scripts and apps created in Perl with all our shared hosting as we have a rich library more than 3000 modules installed on our custom-made cloud hosting platform so as to ensure that all the dependencies for a custom or a pre-made script are there every time you need them. You're able to run a .pl file in two ways - either manually from your website, or automatically by using a cron job which will run a specific file regularly. If the plan which you've purchased doesn't come with cron jobs included, you can easily include as many as you want from the Upgrades menu within your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. In addition, you need to ensure that the script file has the right executable permissions. Using our shared packages, you'll be able to create a site with as many functions and features as you like.

Perl Scripting in Semi-dedicated Hosting

All semi-dedicated hosting that we provide are capable of running CGI scripts or various other apps developed in Perl and considering that cron jobs are included in all our packages, you'll be able to select if a certain script will be executed manually or automatically on a regular interval of time. You can also benefit from a large library of over 3000 modules that are already set up on our servers and use their features so as to save time when you write your scripts. Provided you use a third-party Perl script, you can also be sure that in case it requires a certain module so as to run properly, we will have it as our library contains both widespread modules and less popular ones. You'll be able to view the path to the modules which you need to use in our scripts in the Server Information drop-down menu of your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel.
