Perl is a widespread web-oriented programming language, that is designed to set up CGI scripts along with various applications. It is very convenient since you don't need to create the very same code time and time again so that you can have some task executed several times, instead you can apply modules. They're pre-defined subroutines or sets of tasks which can be called and executed within a script. That is to say, you're able to add just a reference to a specific module in your code instead of using the whole module code time and time again. In this way, your script will be shorter, thus it'll be executed a lot faster, not mentioning that it'll be a lot easier to maintain and / or modify. When you want to employ a third-party ready-made Perl script rather than creating your own, it'll probably need specific modules to be present on the website hosting server.

Over 3400 Perl Modules in Web Hosting

All our Linux web hosting service feature over 3400 Perl modules which you are able to employ as a part of your CGI scripts or web-based apps. They contain both widespread and less popular ones, to give you a choice regarding what features you will be able to add to your sites. Some examples are Apache::SOAP, CGI::Session, GD, Image::Magick, URI, LWP and many others. The complete list is available in the Server Information area of our in-house built Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, which comes with all the shared accounts. In the same place, you will find the Perl version that we have and the path to the modules that you will have to use in your scripts to call a given module from our library.

Over 3400 Perl Modules in Semi-dedicated Servers

Each and every semi-dedicated server that we offer will allow you to work with any type of Perl-based web application that you'd like, no matter if you have created it yourself or if you have downloaded it from a third-party website. Either way, it'll function perfectly irrespective of the modules it may require because we have a massive library that contains over 3400 different modules. The full list is accessible in the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel that is used to control the semi-dedicated server accounts. Along with that list, you can also see the directory path to the modules, so as to know what you have to add in your scripts in order for them to link to the modules. Examples of what we have are URI, DBD::mysql, Image::Magick and LWP and we've got such a large number of modules to ensure that virtually any kind of script can run regardless of its requirements.
