Perl is a popular scripting language that is used to build various web-oriented applications, which includes CGI scripts. Among the characteristics which distinguish it from various other languages is the employment of modules - batches of Perl program code that complete predefined jobs and they are widely accepted. In simple terms, rather than writing tailor-made program code to perform something or pasting tens and hundreds of lines of code in the script, you will be able to "call" a module which is already available for this specific task and use only a few lines of program code. This way, your script will be executed much more rapidly because it will be much smaller. Employing modules will also make your script easier to edit since you'll have to search through a smaller amount of code. If you want to use Perl on your website, you need to make sure that the necessary modules are present on your server.

Over 3400 Perl Modules in Shared Hosting

If you buy one of the shared hosting that we supply, you'll receive access to a large library of over 3400 Perl modules which are already installed on our cloud server platform. As soon as you sign in to your Hepsia Control Panel, you are able to go to the Server Information section where you can easily check the whole list. Some of them are more popular than others, yet we offer such a large selection because we are aware that if you employ an application from some third-party site, it could have certain prerequisites as to what modules need to be present on the server or it will not function properly. XML::Parser, URI, LWP and DBD::mysql are on the list of modules that you will be able to access and use on your websites.

Over 3400 Perl Modules in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Every semi-dedicated server that we supply allows you to work with any Perl-based web app that you would like, regardless if you have created it yourself or if you've downloaded it from a third-party website. In either case, it'll function perfectly whatever the modules it may require as we have a large library that consists of more than 3400 different modules. The full list can be found in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel which is used to manage the semi-dedicated server accounts. Along with that list, you can also find the directory path to the modules, so as to know what you have to include in your scripts in order for them to link to these modules. Some examples of what we have are URI, DBD::mysql, Image::Magick and LWP and we supply such a large number of modules to make sure that any script will run regardless of its requirements.
