Perl is a very popular web-oriented computer programming language, that is designed to generate CGI scripts along with a variety of apps. It is very convenient because you do not need to submit the same program code time and again to get some process executed several times, instead you can work with modules. They're pre-defined subroutines or groups of functions which can be called and executed within a script. In other words, you're able to include only a reference to a given module in your code rather than using the entire module code again and again. In this way, your script will be shorter, which means that it'll be executed much faster, not mentioning that it'll be easier to maintain and / or modify. In case you would like to employ some third-party ready-made Perl script instead of writing your own, it will most likely need certain modules to be present on the website hosting server.

Over 3400 Perl Modules in Shared Website Hosting

All of our Linux shared website hosting come with over 3400 Perl modules which you're able to take advantage of as a part of your CGI scripts or web-based apps. They include both widely used and less popular ones, in order to give you different options in terms of what functionality you'll be able to add to your sites. Several examples are Apache::SOAP, CGI::Session, GD, Image::Magick, URI, LWP and many others. The complete list can be found in the Server Information section of our custom-made Hepsia hosting Control Panel, that is provided with all of the shared accounts. In the same place, you can find the Perl version that we have along with the path to the modules that you will have to use inside your scripts in order to call a given module from the library.

Over 3400 Perl Modules in Semi-dedicated Servers

Each semi-dedicated server that we supply allows you to employ any kind of Perl-based web app that you'd like, no matter if you have created it yourself or if you have downloaded it from a third-party site. Either way, it'll work perfectly whatever the modules it may require since we have a large library which consists of more than 3400 different modules. The complete list is available in the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel that's used to manage the semi-dedicated server accounts. Along with that list, you can also find the directory path to the modules, in order to know what you should include in your scripts in order for them to connect 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 almost any script will be able to run regardless of its requirements.
