Perl is a widespread web-oriented computer programming language, that is designed to create CGI scripts and also many different applications. It's very practical for the reason that you do not need to create the same program code time and again so as to get some action executed a couple of times, instead you will be able to employ modules. They're pre-defined subroutines or sets of tasks that can be called and executed inside a script. That is to say, you can add only a reference to a specific module inside your program code instead of using the whole module code time and time again. This way, your script will be shorter, thus it shall be executed a lot faster, not mentioning that it'll be much simpler to maintain or modify. If you want to take advantage of a third-party ready-made Perl script instead of writing your own, it'll most likely need specific modules to be pre-installed on the hosting server.

Over 3400 Perl Modules in Hosting

All our hosting plans feature over 3400 Perl modules that you can take advantage of as part of your CGI scripts or web-based applications. They contain both popular and less popular ones, in order to provide you with different options in terms of what features you will be able to add to your websites. A couple of examples are Apache::SOAP, CGI::Session, GD, Image::Magick, URI, LWP and many others. A full list accessible in the Server Information area of our custom-built Hepsia hosting Control Panel, that comes with all shared accounts. In the same location, you'll find the Perl version that we have along with the path to the modules that you'll have to use inside your scripts in order to call a certain module from our library.

Over 3400 Perl Modules in Semi-dedicated Servers

Every semi-dedicated server that we supply allows you to use any kind of Perl-based web application that you'd like, regardless if you have created it yourself or if you have downloaded it from a third-party website. In either case, it will work perfectly whatever the modules it may require because we have a large library that consists of more than 3400 different modules. A complete list can be found in the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel which is used to control the semi-dedicated server accounts. In addition to that list, you will also see the directory path to the modules, in order to know what you have 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 offer such a large number of modules to make sure that any script will be able to run regardless of its specifications.
