Perl is an excellent programming language which is widely used for generating CGI scripts as well as different web-based applications. One of its major pros is the fact that it supports modules - ready-made batches of code that are used to perform numerous tasks and to extend the efficiency of a given script without slowing it with unnecessary lines of code. This means that, if five processess need to be executed, you'll be able to use five lines of program code to call each of the modules instead of including a few hundred lines used to create the actual modules in your script. Perl is very handy and it may be used for a variety of purposes, so a number of corporations have implemented it in their web products or on their resource-demanding sites - cPanel, IMDB, Craigslist, BugZilla, BBC and many more. It is often used in addition to other programming languages for instance PHP or Python.

Perl Scripting in Website Hosting

You'll be able to use CGI scripts and apps created in Perl with any of our website hosting because we have a rich library more than 3000 modules present on our custom cloud hosting platform in order to make sure that all the dependencies for a tailor-made or a ready-made script are there whenever you need them. You can run a .pl file in two separate ways - either manually from your site, or automatically through a cron job that will run a certain file regularly. In case the package which you've purchased doesn't come with cron jobs included, you'll be able to include as many as you would like through the Upgrades menu in your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You also need to ensure that the script file has the needed executable permissions. Using our shared packages, you will be able to build a site with as many functions and features as you'd like.
