Perl is a widely used programming language, that is used to set up various web apps and CGI scripts. A lot of programmers believe that it is one of the most effective programming languages nowadays since it supports the usage of modules - small pieces of code with pre-defined subroutines that are used to execute a particular task. The modules will save you a lot of time and they can contribute to the quick speed of your sites since you're able to integrate only one line of code to call a particular module rather than using all of the code for the task in your script. Perl is a universal programming language normally used for scripts, but it's been employed to create many popular pieces of web software too, such as cPanel, BugZilla and Movable Type. It's also employed on high-traffic websites like IMDB, Craigslist, Ticketmaster and many more.

Perl Scripting in Website Hosting

You can use CGI scripts and applications created in Perl with all our website hosting as we have a rich library of over 3000 modules installed on our custom cloud website hosting platform in order to make sure that all of the dependencies for a custom-made or a ready-made script will be there when you need them. You are able to execute a .pl file in two separate ways - either manually from your site, or automatically by using a cron job which will run a specific file regularly. If the plan that you've picked doesn't come with cron jobs included, you're able to include as many as you need through the Upgrades menu within your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. In addition, you need to make sure that the script file features the right executable permissions. With our shared packages, you'll be able to create a site with as many functions and features as you'd like.

Perl Scripting in Semi-dedicated Servers

You can use every Perl-based application, including CGI scripts, with all the semi-dedicated servers that we provide as Perl is supported on all our servers. You're able to make any kind of .pl file executable by setting the right UNIX permissions for it through the Hepsia Control Panel or through any kind of FTP client and depending on the actual script, it may be executed manually as a result of some action the client performs on your site, or automatically by a cron job which you can create inside your account. Provided you want to use a script that you have found online and it requires certain modules to to be available on the server, you will be able to benefit from our rich library which includes over 3000 modules. In this way, you can be sure that any type of Perl application that you create or find on the web will work flawlessly on our end.
