Perl is a well-liked scripting language that's regarded as one of the most practical programming languages on the Internet. It is feature-rich and it's used to create multiple web-based apps and CGI scripts. What differentiates Perl from most of the alternative languages on the web is the support for modules - sets of commands for a certain job that can be integrated into a script by simply calling them i.e. you can write a single line inside your script to have a module executed, instead of having the entire program code that is already a part of the module anyway. As Perl supports numerous other languages and it features a lot of functions depending on what a specific application can do, it is employed by numerous renowned companies - the BBC, Craigslist, The Internet Movie Database (IMDB), cPanel, etc.

Perl Scripting in Shared Hosting

Since Perl is set up on our cloud web hosting platform, you can execute Perl/CGI scripts with any of our shared hosting packages without difficulty. You may even do this automatically via a cron job when your package has this feature. If not, you can include cron jobs through the Upgrades section of your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel. Over 3000 Perl modules are present on our servers and you can use any of them with your scripts. A full list can be found inside 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. When third-party scripts that you would like to include in your website ask for a specific module, for instance, you do not have to worry if they will work effectively or not. In this way, you'll be able to make a dynamic website and supply countless functions to your visitors.
