Perl is a well-known language, that is employed to create various web apps and CGI scripts. A lot of programmers consider it to be one of the most practical programming languages nowadays because it supports the usage of modules - compact parts of program code with pre-defined subroutines which are designed to execute a specific task. The modules will save you a lot of time and they will contribute to the fast loading speed of your websites as you will be able to add only 1 line of code to call a certain module instead of using all the code for the task within your script. Perl is a universal language most often used for scripts, but it's been employed to create many popular pieces of web software as well, such as cPanel, BugZilla and Movable Type. It is also used on high-traffic sites for instance IMDB, Craigslist, Ticketmaster and many more.

Perl Scripting in Cloud Hosting

You can use CGI scripts and applications created in Perl with all our cloud plans as we have a rich library of over 3000 modules installed on our custom cloud website hosting platform in order to make sure that all of the dependencies for a custom or a pre-made script will be there every time you need them. You're able to run a .pl file in two ways - either manually through your website, or automatically through a cron job which will run a particular file on regular intervals. In case the plan that you have bought does not come with cron jobs included, you can easily include as many as you need through the Upgrades menu inside your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Also, you need to make sure that the script file is provided with the needed executable permissions. Using our shared packages, you're able to build a website with as many functions and features as you would like.
