Perl is an excellent programming language that's regularly used for making CGI scripts and also different web-based applications. One of its main advantages is the fact that it supports modules - ready-made batches of program code which are designed to do numerous tasks and to increase the performance of a given script without clogging it with unneeded lines of program code. In other words, when five processess need to be performed, you are able to employ five lines of program code to call each one of the modules rather than including a few hundred lines used to create the actual modules inside your script. Perl is really practical and it can be used for many different purposes, so many corporations have implemented it in their web products or on their high-traffic websites - cPanel, IMDB, Craigslist, BugZilla, BBC and a lot more. It's ordinarily used in addition to other programming languages for example PHP or Python.

Perl Scripting in Shared Hosting

As Perl is installed on our cloud web hosting platform, you're able to run Perl/CGI scripts with any of our shared hosting plans without difficulty. You can even do this automatically through a cron job when your plan comes with this option. If not, you're able to add cron jobs via the Upgrades section of your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel. More than 3000 Perl modules are accessible on our servers and you'll be able to use any of them with your scripts. The entire list can be found inside the Control Panel and if you'd like to use any module, you only have to include the path to our module library inside your script. If third-party scripts which you need to include in your website ask for a particular module, for example, you will not need to worry whether they will operate efficiently or not. In this way, you will be able to make a dynamic site and offer numerous different characteristics to your visitors.
