Perl is an efficient programming language that's widely used for setting up CGI scripts and also a number of web-based apps. One of its main pros is that it supports modules - ready-made batches of program code which are designed to perform various tasks and to increase the effectiveness of a given script without clogging it with unneeded lines of program code. In other words, in the event that five jobs should be performed, you are able to employ five lines of program code to call each of the modules rather than including a few hundred lines used to create the actual modules in your script. Perl is really handy and it may be used for a variety of purposes, that's why many corporations have implemented it in their web products or on their resource-demanding sites - cPanel, IMDB, Craigslist, BugZilla, BBC and a lot more. It's ordinarily used with other languages for instance PHP or Python.
Perl Scripting in Cloud Website Hosting
Since Perl is installed on our cloud website hosting platform, you will be able to run Perl/CGI scripts with all of our cloud website hosting plans without difficulty. You may also do this automatically through a cron job if your package includes this feature. If not, you can include cron jobs from the Upgrades section of your Hepsia website hosting Control Panel. Over 3000 Perl modules are accessible on our servers and you can use any of them with your scripts. A full list is available inside the Control Panel and if you wish to use any module, you simply have to add the path to our module library in your script. In case third-party scripts that you would like to include in your website require a specific module, for instance, you don't have to worry whether they will work effectively or not. In this way, you will be able to create a dynamic Internet site and supply plenty of options to your targeted visitors.
