Perl is a widely used programming language, which is employed to create various web applications and CGI scripts. A lot of programmers believe that it is one of the most efficient languages nowadays because it supports the usage of modules - tiny parts of code with pre-defined subroutines that are used to execute a certain task. The modules will save you lots of time and they can contribute to the rapid speed of your sites since you're able to integrate only 1 line of program code to call a certain module instead of using all the program code for the process within your script. Perl is a multi-functional programming language most often used for scripts, but it's been employed to generate numerous popular pieces of web software too, like cPanel, BugZilla and Movable Type. It is also used on high-traffic sites for example IMDB, Craigslist, Ticketmaster and many more.
Perl Scripting in Cloud Website Hosting
You will be able to use CGI scripts and apps written in Perl with any of our Linux cloud website hosting packages because we have a rich library of over 3000 modules present on our custom cloud hosting platform so as to make sure that all the dependencies for a tailor-made or a pre-made script will be there whenever you need them. You're able to run a .pl file in two separate ways - either manually from your website, or automatically through a cron job which will run a certain file regularly. If the package which you've acquired does not come with cron jobs included, you can easily add as many as you would like through the Upgrades menu within your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Also, you need to make sure that the script file has the proper executable permissions. When you use our shared packages, you can create a website with as many functions and features as you would like.
