Perl is a widely used programming language, that is used to set up various web applications and CGI scripts. A number of programmers believe that it is among the most efficient languages these days because it supports the use of modules - compact bits of program code with pre-defined subroutines that are employed to perform a specific task. The modules can save you lots of time and they will contribute to the quick speed of your sites because you are able to integrate just one line of code to call a given module rather than using all the program code for the process within your script. Perl is a versatile programming language normally used for scripts, but it has been used to create a wide range of popular pieces of web software as well, for example cPanel, BugZilla and Movable Type. It's also used on high-traffic sites which includes IMDB, Craigslist, Ticketmaster and many more.
Perl Scripting in Shared Web Hosting
You are able to use CGI scripts and apps written in Perl with all our Linux shared web hosting service because we have a rich library of over 3000 modules present on our custom cloud website hosting platform so as to make sure that all of the dependencies for a tailor-made or a pre-made script are there every time you need them. You are able to execute a .pl file in two separate ways - either manually from your site, or automatically using a cron job that will run a specific file regularly. In case the plan which you have purchased does not come with cron jobs included, you will be able to include as many as you want through the Upgrades menu within your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. In addition, you need to make sure 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 would like.
Perl Scripting in Semi-dedicated Servers
You're able to work with any kind of Perl-based application, including CGI scripts, with all of the Linux semi-dedicated hosting service that we supply as Perl is supported on all of our servers. You're able to make each .pl file executable by setting the appropriate UNIX permissions for it in the Hepsia Control Panel or through any FTP client and in accordance with the actual script, it can be run manually as a result of some action your client performs on your website, or automatically by a cron job that you can set up in your account. In case you want to use a script which you've found online and it needs certain modules to to exist on the server, you're able to take advantage of our rich library which features over 3000 modules. Thus, you can rest assured that every Perl app that you write or find on the Internet will work properly on our end.
