Perl is a very popular computer language, that is used to set up various web applications and CGI scripts. A lot of programmers consider it to be one of the most practical programming languages nowadays as it supports the use of modules - tiny parts of program code with pre-defined subroutines that are designed to execute a particular task. The modules will save you a lot of time and they will contribute to the quick speed of your sites because you're able to include just a single line of program code to call a particular module rather than using all the code for the process within your script. Perl is a multi-purpose language primarily used for scripts, but it has been employed to generate many popular pieces of web software too, like cPanel, BugZilla and Movable Type. It is also employed on high-traffic sites for example IMDB, Craigslist, Ticketmaster and many more.

Since Perl is set up on our cloud hosting platform, you will be able to run Perl/CGI scripts with all of our cloud hosting packages without difficulty. You may also do this automatically by using a cron job if your package includes this feature. If not, you'll be able to include cron jobs through the Upgrades area of your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Over 3000 Perl modules can be accessed on our servers and you can use any of them with your scripts. The full list can be found 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 which you want to include in your website require a particular module, for example, you do not need to worry if they will function efficiently or not. This way, you are able to make a dynamic site and offer numerous different attributes to your site visitors.
