Perl is a popular scripting language which is employed to make different web-oriented apps, such as CGI scripts. Among the characteristics which differentiate it from other programming languages is the employment of modules - batches of Perl program code that perform predefined jobs and they are commonly accepted. In simple terms, instead of generating tailor-made program code to do something or pasting tens and hundreds of lines of program code inside your script, you can "call" some module that is already available for this specific process and use only a couple of lines of code. Because of this, your script will be executed much more quickly as it will be much smaller. Using modules will, in addition make your script much easier to modify since you will have to go through much less code. In case you intend to use Perl on your website, you have to make sure that the required modules are present on your server.
Over 3400 Perl Modules in Cloud Hosting
All of our Linux cloud packages include over 3400 Perl modules that you'll be able to take advantage of as a part of your CGI scripts or web-based apps. They contain both popular and less popular ones, so as to offer you a choice with regard to what functions you will be able to add to your sites. Some examples are Apache::SOAP, CGI::Session, GD, Image::Magick, URI, LWP and a lot more. The complete list can be found in the Server Information section of our custom Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which is featured with all of the shared accounts. In the same place, you will see the Perl version which we have as well as the path to the modules that you will have to use within your scripts in order to call a given module from our library.

Every single semi-dedicated server that we supply allows you to work with any type of Perl-based web application that you wish, regardless if you've made it yourself or if you've downloaded it from some third-party site. In either case, it'll work properly irrespective of the modules it needs as we have a rich library that consists of more than 3400 different modules. A complete list is available in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel which is used to manage the semi-dedicated server accounts.
