Perl is an effective programming language which is commonly used for making CGI scripts along with many different web-based applications. Among its key pros is the fact that it supports modules - ready-made batches of code that are designed to perform multiple tasks and to extend the functionality of a certain script without clogging it with unnecessary lines of program code. In other words, if five jobs have to be performed, you'll be able to employ five lines of program code to call each of the modules rather than including hundreds of lines used to set up the actual modules inside your script. Perl is really convenient and it can be used for multiple purposes, that's why a number of corporations have implemented it in their web products or on their resource-demanding websites - cPanel, IMDB, Craigslist, BugZilla, BBC and a lot more. It's commonly used along with other programming languages for instance PHP or Python.

Perl Scripting in Cloud Website Hosting

As Perl is set up on our cloud hosting platform, you'll be able to run Perl/CGI scripts with any of our cloud website hosting plans without any difficulties. You may even do this automatically via a cron job if your package comes with this feature. If not, you are 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 all of them with your scripts. A complete list can be found in the Control Panel and if you'd like to use any module, you just have to add the path to our module library within your script. If third-party scripts which you need to add to your site demand a particular module, for instance, you will not need to worry if they will work properly or not. In this way, you will be able to make a dynamic site and supply a huge selection of options to your targeted visitors.
