Perl is a popular scripting language that's used to build various web-oriented apps, which includes CGI scripts. Among the features which differentiate it from alternative programming languages is the employment of modules - parts of Perl code which execute predefined jobs and they're universally accepted. Basically, rather than writing custom code to perform something or pasting tens and hundreds of lines of program code in your script, you will be able to "call" some module which already exists for this specific job and use just a couple of lines of program code. Because of this, your script will be executed much more quickly since it'll be smaller. Using modules will also make a script easier to change since you'll have to browse through much less program code. If you'd like to use Perl on your website, you need to make sure that the required modules are present on the server.
Over 3400 Perl Modules in Cloud Website Hosting
Over 3400 Perl modules will be readily available when you buy any of our Linux cloud website hosting packages. You'll be able to employ as many as you'll need and we've made sure that we've got all the well-known ones, plus a lot more that might not be used as much, but can be a prerequisite for some third-party web app that you wish to use or for a custom-made script in order to function effectively. LWP, URI, GD, CGI::Session and Image::Magick are only a couple of instances of the modules you'll be able to access. You can see the whole list in your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel along with the path that you have to set within your scripts, so that they can use our module library. Using our shared packages, you'll be able to use any Perl-based script without any limitations.
