Perl is an effective programming language which is regularly used for creating CGI scripts along with different web-based applications. Among its main pros is that it works with modules - ready-made batches of program code that are employed to perform numerous tasks and to increase the performance of a certain script without clogging it with unnecessary lines of program code. In other words, when five processess should be performed, you're able to use five lines of program code in order to call each one of the modules instead of including a large number of lines used to create the actual modules inside your script. Perl is very practical and it may be used for multiple purposes, that's why many companies have integrated it in their web products or on their high-traffic sites - cPanel, IMDB, Craigslist, BugZilla, BBC and many more. It's commonly used in addition to other programming languages for example PHP or Python.

Perl Scripting in Hosting

In case you obtain a hosting through us, you're able to run Perl/CGI scripts without any problems because we have a large number of modules installed on the cloud hosting platform where the shared accounts are generated. With each and every package, you will be provided with access to over 3000 modules which you'll be able to employ in your scripts and you will find a full list inside your Hepsia hosting Control Panel along with the path that you should use in order to get access to them. In case you use any script which you've downloaded from some third-party website, you can rest assured that it will work properly regardless of what modules it requires 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 pre-set time interval. If your hosting plan doesn't include cron jobs, you are able to add this attribute with a few clicks in the Upgrades section of your Control Panel.
