Perl is a popular language, that is used to make various web apps and CGI scripts. A lot of programmers believe that it is one of the most efficient programming languages nowadays as it supports the usage of modules - small bits 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 will contribute to the quick loading speed of your websites since you can integrate just one line of program code to call a given module rather than using all the program code for the task in your script. Perl is a multi-purpose programming language normally used for scripts, but it has been used to create many popular pieces of web software too, for instance cPanel, BugZilla and Movable Type. It's also employed on high-traffic sites for example IMDB, Craigslist, Ticketmaster and many more.

Perl Scripting in Web Hosting

Since Perl is installed on our cloud website hosting platform, you are able to execute Perl/CGI scripts with any of our web hosting plans without any difficulties. You can even do this automatically by using a cron job when your package has this attribute. If not, you will be able to include cron jobs from the Upgrades area of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. More than 3000 Perl modules can be found on our servers and you will be able to use any of them with your scripts. A complete list can be found inside the Control Panel and when you want to use any module, you simply have to add the path to our module library within your script. If third-party scripts which you need to include in your website demand a certain module, for instance, you won't have to worry whether they will function effectively or not. In this way, you're able to create a dynamic site and provide a huge selection of options to your website visitors.
