Perl is a popular scripting language which is regarded as one of the most practical programming languages on the Internet. It's feature-rich and it's used to set up a number of web-based apps and CGI scripts. What distinguishes Perl from most of the other languages out there is the compatibility with modules - groups of commands for a certain task which can be included in a script by calling them which means that you're able to write only one line inside your script to get a module executed, rather than having the entire code that is already included in the module anyway. Since Perl is compatible with various other programming languages and it provides a lot of options depending on what a specific application can do, it is used by lots of well-known companies - the BBC, Craigslist, The Internet Movie Database (IMDB), cPanel, and so on.
Perl Scripting in Hosting
If you buy a hosting plan through us, you will be able to run Perl/CGI scripts without a problem because we have a large number of modules on the cloud platform where all of the shared accounts are generated. With each package, you'll get access to more than 3000 modules that you will be able to employ in your scripts and you'll find a full list within your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel together with the path that you have to use so as to access them. In case you use any kind of script which you've downloaded from some third-party website, you can rest assured that it will work flawlessly no matter what modules it requires for that. Any .pl script can be executed manually or you can set up a cron job to do this automatically at a pre-set time interval. In case your hosting package does not come with cron jobs, you're able to add this attribute with a couple of clicks within the Upgrades section of your Control Panel.
