Perl is an effective programming language that is commonly used for creating CGI scripts along with different web-based apps. One of its main advantages is the fact that it works with modules - ready-made batches of program code which are used to do multiple tasks and to extend the efficiency of a certain script without clogging it with unneeded lines of program code. To put it simply, in the event that five jobs should be executed, you can employ five lines of code to call each one of the modules rather than including hundreds of lines used to create the actual modules within your script. Perl is very useful and it can be used for a variety of purposes, so a number of companies have integrated it in their web products or on their high-traffic sites - cPanel, IMDB, Craigslist, BugZilla, BBC and many more. It's often used with other languages like PHP or Python.

Perl Scripting in Shared Hosting

You will be able to use CGI scripts and applications written in Perl with all our shared hosting as we have a rich library more than 3000 modules on our custom-made cloud hosting platform in order to make sure that all dependencies for a custom-made or a ready-made script will be there any time you need them. You'll be able to run a .pl file in two separate ways - either manually from your site, or automatically through a cron job which will run a specific file on regular intervals. In the event that the plan that you have ordered does not come with cron jobs included, you are able to include as many as you want from the Upgrades menu within your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. Also, you need to make sure that the script file features the proper executable permissions. Using our shared packages, you'll be able to create a website with as many functions and features as you would like.

Perl Scripting in Semi-dedicated Hosting

You're able to take advantage of any Perl-based application, including CGI scripts, with any of the semi-dedicated hosting services that we supply as Perl is supported on our servers. You can make every .pl file executable by setting the proper UNIX permissions for it from the Hepsia Control Panel or through any kind of FTP client and in accordance with the actual script, it may be run manually as a result of some action the client performs on your site, or automatically by a cron job which you can set up inside your account. In case you choose to employ a script which you have found online and it requires certain modules to to exist on the server, you can take advantage of our vast library that includes more than 3000 modules. This way, you can rest assured that every Perl app that you write or find on the Internet will work perfectly on our end.
