Perl is a preferred scripting language which is that is used to build various web-oriented apps, including CGI scripts. Among the characteristics that distinguish it from other programming languages is the use of modules - parts of Perl program code which execute predefined tasks and they are widely accepted. In simple terms, rather than generating custom program code to do something or pasting tens and hundreds of lines of program code inside your script, you can "call" a module which is already available for this particular task and use just several lines of program code. Because of this, your script will be executed much more rapidly because it'll be much smaller. Using modules will also make your script much easier to modify considering that you'll need to search through a smaller amount of program code. In case you intend to use Perl on your website, you should ensure that the required modules can be found on the server.
Over 3400 Perl Modules in Web Hosting
When you buy one of the Linux web hosting that we supply, you will receive access to a rich library of more than 3400 Perl modules that are already installed on our cloud server platform. As soon as you log in to the Hepsia Control Panel, you will be able to go to the Server Information section where you can easily see the full list. Some of them are more common than others, but we have such a large number as we realize that if you employ an application from some third-party site, it may have certain requirements as to what modules need to be installed on the server or it may not function appropriately. XML::Parser, URI, LWP and DBD::mysql are among the modules that you are able to access and take advantage of on your websites.
Over 3400 Perl Modules in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Every single semi-dedicated server that we provide allows you to work with any Perl-based web app that you'd like, regardless if you have made it yourself or if you've downloaded it from a third-party website. Either way, it will work perfectly irrespective of the modules it may require as we have a massive library that includes over 3400 different modules. The complete list can be found in the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel which is used to take care of the semi-dedicated server accounts. In addition to that list, you will also find the directory path to the modules, so as to know what you need to include in your scripts in order for them to connect to the modules. Some examples of what we have are URI, DBD::mysql, Image::Magick and LWP and we've got such a multitude of modules to make sure that any script will run in spite of its specifications.
