Perl is a widely used language, which is used to build various web apps and CGI scripts. Many programmers believe that it is among the most effective languages in existence since it supports the usage of modules - tiny bits of code with pre-defined subroutines that are designed to perform a specific task. The modules can save you lots of time and they can contribute to the rapid speed of your websites because you are able to include only 1 line of program code to call a given module instead of using all the code for the task in your script. Perl is a versatile programming language normally used for scripts, but it has been employed to create a lot of popular pieces of web software as well, for instance cPanel, BugZilla and Movable Type. It is also used on high-traffic websites such as IMDB, Craigslist, Ticketmaster and many others.

Perl Scripting in Shared Hosting

Since Perl is set up on our cloud web hosting platform, you're able to run Perl/CGI scripts with any of our shared hosting packages without any difficulties. You can also do this automatically by using a cron job if your package has this feature. If not, you're able to include cron jobs from the Upgrades section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. More than 3000 Perl modules are offered on our servers and you can use any of them with your scripts. A complete list is available inside the Control Panel and when 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 add to your website require a particular module, for instance, you don't have to worry if they will run efficiently or not. This way, you will be able to build a dynamic Internet site and offer hundreds of different options to your site visitors.
