Perl is a popular language, which is employed to create various web apps and CGI scripts. Lots of programmers believe that it is one of the most efficient languages out there because it supports the usage of modules - tiny bits of program code with pre-defined subroutines that are designed to perform a particular task. The modules can save you lots of time and they can contribute to the quick loading speed of your sites as you're able to add only one line of code to call a certain module instead of using all of the code for the task within your script. Perl is a multi-functional programming language generally used for scripts, but it has been employed to generate numerous popular pieces of web software as well, for example cPanel, BugZilla and Movable Type. It is also employed on high-traffic websites including IMDB, Craigslist, Ticketmaster and many others.
Perl Scripting in Shared Web Hosting
As Perl is set up on our cloud web hosting platform, you are able to run Perl/CGI scripts with any of our shared web hosting packages without any difficulties. You may also do this automatically by using a cron job if your package includes this feature. If not, you will be able to include cron jobs via the Upgrades area of your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel. Over 3000 Perl modules are available on our servers and you will be able to use any of them with your scripts. A complete list is available inside the Control Panel and if you wish to use any module, you just have to add the path to our module library within your script. If third-party scripts which you want to add to your website ask for a specific module, for instance, you do not need to worry whether they will operate efficiently or not. In this way, you'll be able to build a dynamic Internet site and provide various features to your targeted visitors.
