Perl is a well-liked scripting language that's considered to be one of the most useful programming languages in the online world. It is feature-rich and it's used to generate a variety of web-based apps and CGI scripts. What differentiates Perl from most of the other languages out there is the support for modules - groups of commands for a particular process that can be included in a script by calling them i.e. you're able to write a single line inside your script to get a module executed, instead of having the whole program code which is already a part of the module anyway. As Perl supports many other languages and it comes with a lot of functions depending on what a given application can do, it's employed by numerous popular companies - the BBC, Craigslist, The Internet Movie Database (IMDB), cPanel, and many others.

Perl Scripting in Cloud Hosting

You will be able to use CGI scripts and applications created in Perl with all our cloud hosting plans as we have a rich library more than 3000 modules installed on our tailor-made cloud hosting platform to ensure that all dependencies for a tailor-made or a pre-made script will be there every time you need them. You'll be able to execute a .pl file in two ways - either manually through your website, or automatically by using a cron job which will run a specific file regularly. In the event that the package which you've selected does not come with cron jobs included, you can easily add as many as you would like from the Upgrades menu within your Hepsia hosting Control Panel. You also need to ensure that the script file has the right executable permissions. Using our shared plans, you're able to build a website with as many functions and features as you'd like.
