Perl is a preferred scripting language that's used to create different web-oriented apps, including CGI scripts. One of the characteristics that differentiate it from many other programming languages is the use of modules - parts of Perl code which execute predefined tasks and they are universally accepted. In simple terms, rather than creating custom program code to perform something or pasting tens and hundreds of lines of code in your script, you are able to "call" a module that already exists for this particular job and use only a couple of lines of code. Because of this, your script shall be executed faster since it will be smaller. Employing modules will also make the script easier to edit due to the fact that you'll have to search through much less program code. In case you would like to use Perl on your website, you need to make sure that the necessary modules are present on your server.

Over 3400 Perl Modules in Shared Website Hosting

When you buy one of the shared website hosting that we provide, you'll receive access to a large library of more than 3400 Perl modules that are already set up on our cloud server platform. Once you sign in to your Hepsia Control Panel, you will be able to go to the Server Information section where you could check the full list. Part of them are more common than others, yet we have such a large selection since we are aware that if you use an application from some third-party website, it could have certain requirements as to what kind of modules should be installed on the server or it might not work properly. XML::Parser, URI, LWP and DBD::mysql are on the list of modules that you will be able to access and use on your websites.

Over 3400 Perl Modules in Semi-dedicated Servers

Our semi-dedicated servers include a large range of Perl modules which you could use with your scripts. That way, even when you would like to use an app that you've discovered online from another site, you can be sure that it'll be effective since no matter what modules it may need, we'll have them. Our selection features more than 3400 modules including DBD::mysql, URI, LWP, XML::Parser and much more - a lot of them are frequently used while others not as much. We keep such a large amount to be on the safe side and to be sure that any script shall run on our servers even if some module it requires is used very rarely. The entire list of modules that can be used can be found inside the Hepsia web hosting CP provided with the semi-dedicated accounts.
