Perl is a well-known programming language, that is employed to build various web applications and CGI scripts. The majority of programmers consider it to be one of the most efficient languages nowadays since it supports the usage of modules - compact pieces of program code with pre-defined subroutines which are employed to perform a particular task. The modules can save you time and effort and they will contribute to the rapid loading speed of your websites as you can add just one line of program code to call a particular module instead of using all of the program code for the process within your script. Perl is a versatile language generally used for scripts, but it has been used to create lots of popular pieces of web software as well, for example cPanel, BugZilla and Movable Type. It's also employed on high-traffic sites such as IMDB, Craigslist, Ticketmaster and many more.
Perl Scripting in Cloud Website Hosting
As Perl is set up on our cloud web hosting platform, you'll be able to run Perl/CGI scripts with all of our cloud website hosting packages without any difficulties. You can even do this automatically by using a cron job if your plan has this option. If not, you're able to include cron jobs from the Upgrades area of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Over 3000 Perl modules can be found on our servers and you can use them with your scripts. A full list is available inside the Control Panel and when you want to use any module, you only have to add the path to our module library within your script. When third-party scripts which you want to include in your website require a certain module, for instance, you don't need to worry whether they will run properly or not. In this way, you will be able to make a dynamic site and supply hundreds of different functions to your targeted visitors.
Perl Scripting in Semi-dedicated Hosting
In case you want to include CGI scripts on your websites or any other Perl-based app for that matter, you will not encounter any problems in the event that you use a semi-dedicated server account from our company. Thousands of Perl modules are set up on our servers and you're able to call any of them by including the path that you can find in your Control Panel into the script that you've selected. When you download some app from a third-party website, for instance, you can rest assured that you'll be able to work with it whatever the modules it needs to function. Provided that your .pl files include the right UNIX permissions to ensure they are executable, you will be able to choose whether a particular script will be executed manually by a guest doing something on your site, or automatically by setting up a cron job in your account. With the latter option, your script can be executed every day, hour or minute depending on your preference.
