Perl is a well-liked scripting language that's considered to be one of the most useful languages on the Internet. It is feature-rich and it's used to create multiple web-based applications and CGI scripts. What differentiates Perl from most of the other languages out there is the compatibility with modules - groups of commands for a particular task that can be integrated into a script by calling them which means that you can write a single line within your script to get an entire module executed, instead of having the whole code that is already included in the module anyway. Because Perl supports various other languages and it comes with a lot of options based on what a specific app can do, it is used by many popular companies - the BBC, Craigslist, The Internet Movie Database (IMDB), cPanel, and many others.

Perl Scripting in Cloud Hosting

As Perl is set up on our cloud website hosting platform, you'll be able to execute Perl/CGI scripts with all of our cloud hosting plans without any difficulties. You may even do this automatically by using a cron job if your package includes this option. If not, you'll be able to add cron jobs from the Upgrades section of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Over 3000 Perl modules are available on our servers and you can use them with your scripts. A complete list is available inside the Control Panel and when you need to use any module, you just have to add the path to our module library within your script. In case third-party scripts that you want to add to your website ask for a specific module, for instance, you do not need to worry whether they will function effectively or not. This way, you are able to create a dynamic site and provide hundreds of different options to your site visitors.
