Perl is a powerful programming language that's commonly used for generating CGI scripts and also a variety of web-based apps. Among its key pros is that it works with modules - ready-made batches of program code that are designed to perform various tasks and to increase the functionality of a given script without clogging it with unnecessary lines of program code. In other words, if five processess have to be performed, you'll be able to use five lines of code to call each one of the modules instead of including hundreds of lines used to generate the actual modules inside your script. Perl is very practical and it may be used for numerous purposes, so a lot of corporations have implemented it in their web products or on their resource-demanding websites - cPanel, IMDB, Craigslist, BugZilla, BBC and many more. It is often used along with other languages for example PHP or Python.
Perl Scripting in Shared Website Hosting
In case you acquire a Linux shared website hosting from our company, you're able to execute Perl/CGI scripts without any problems because we have a large number of modules present on the cloud hosting platform where all of the shared accounts are generated. With each and every plan, you'll have access to more than 3000 modules that you're able to employ in your scripts and you can find the whole list within your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel together with the path that you have to use to gain access to them. When you use any script which you've downloaded from a third-party website, you can be sure that it'll run correctly no matter what modules it needs for that. Any .pl script can be executed manually or you will be able to set up a cron job to do this automatically at a given time interval. If your web hosting package doesn't come with cron jobs, you'll be able to add this option with a few clicks in the Upgrades section of the Control Panel.
