Perl is a well-known computer language, that is used to make various web apps and CGI scripts. A lot of programmers consider it to be one of the most efficient programming languages these days as it supports the use of modules - tiny parts of code with pre-defined subroutines which are designed to perform a certain task. The modules can help you save lots of time and they will contribute to the quick loading speed of your sites because you'll be able to integrate only 1 line of code to call a certain module instead of using all the program code for the task in your script. Perl is a multi-functional language most often used for scripts, but it's been used to generate a variety of popular pieces of web software as well, for example cPanel, BugZilla and Movable Type. It's also employed on high-traffic websites for example IMDB, Craigslist, Ticketmaster and many others.

Perl Scripting in Cloud Hosting

You will be able to use CGI scripts and applications written in Perl with all of our cloud hosting because we have a rich library more than 3000 modules on our tailor-made cloud website hosting platform in order to ensure that all dependencies for a custom or a pre-made script will be there whenever you need them. You're able to run a .pl file in two separate ways - either manually via your site, or automatically by using a cron job which will run a particular file on regular intervals. If the plan which you have acquired does not come with cron jobs included, you will be able to add as many as you would like from the Upgrades menu in your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel. Also, you need to make sure that the script file is provided with the proper executable permissions. Using our shared packages, you are able to create a website with as many functions and features as you'd like.

Perl Scripting in Semi-dedicated Servers

You'll be able to work with any Perl-based application, including CGI scripts, with all of the Linux semi-dedicated servers that we offer as Perl is supported on all of our servers. You can make any kind of .pl file executable by setting the proper UNIX permissions for it in the Hepsia Control Panel or through any kind of FTP client and in accordance with the actual script, it may be executed manually as a result of some action your client performs on your website, or automatically via a cron job that you can create in your account. Provided you choose to use a script that you've found online and it needs certain modules to be present on your server, you are able to take advantage of our rich library which includes over 3000 modules. This way, you can rest assured that every Perl application that you make or find on the Internet will perform perfectly on our end.
