Perl is a widely used computer language, which is used to make various web applications and CGI scripts. A number of programmers consider it to be among the most efficient languages in existence as it supports the usage of modules - tiny pieces of code with pre-defined subroutines that are employed to execute a particular task. The modules will save you time and effort and they will contribute to the fast speed of your websites because you will be able to integrate just a single line of program code to call a given module instead of using all of the program code for the task in your script. Perl is a versatile language primarily used for scripts, but it has been employed to create lots of popular pieces of web software too, such as cPanel, BugZilla and Movable Type. It is also used on high-traffic websites including IMDB, Craigslist, Ticketmaster and many more.

Perl Scripting in Shared Website Hosting

You'll be able to use CGI scripts and applications created in Perl with all our Linux shared website hosting packages because we have a rich library more than 3000 modules present on our custom-made cloud website hosting platform to ensure that all the dependencies for a tailor-made or a pre-made script are there any time you need them. You can execute a .pl file in two separate ways - either manually through your site, or automatically through a cron job that will run a specific file regularly. If the package that you've purchased doesn't come with cron jobs included, you're able to add as many as you need from the Upgrades menu inside your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. Also, you need to ensure that the script file is provided with the right executable permissions. When you use our shared packages, you will be able to create a website with as many functions and features as you'd like.
