Perl is a widely used language, which is used to make various web apps and CGI scripts. A lot of programmers consider it to be one of the most practical languages out there as it supports the use of modules - compact parts of code with pre-defined subroutines which are used to execute a specific task. The modules can help you save lots of time and they will contribute to the fast speed of your websites since you'll be able to include only 1 line of code to call a particular module instead of using all of the program code for the process in your script. Perl is a multi-functional language primarily used for scripts, but it's been employed to create a wide range of popular pieces of web software as well, such as cPanel, BugZilla and Movable Type. It's also employed on high-traffic websites for instance IMDB, Craigslist, Ticketmaster and many more.

Perl Scripting in Cloud Website Hosting

If you purchase a cloud website hosting through our company, you can run Perl/CGI scripts without any problems because we have plenty of modules installed on the cloud platform where all the shared accounts are created. With each plan, you'll have access to more than 3000 modules that you're able to use in your scripts and you can find the whole list within your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel as well as the path that you need to use so as to get access to them. When you use any kind of script which you have downloaded from some third-party website, you can be sure that it'll function perfectly regardless of what modules it needs for that. Any kind of .pl script can be executed manually or you will be able to create a cron job to do this automatically at a given time interval. If your web hosting package does not include cron jobs, you are able to include this feature with just a few clicks in the Upgrades area of the Control Panel.
