Perl is a very popular scripting language that is used to build various web-oriented applications, including CGI scripts. One of the options that differentiate it from various other programming languages is the employment of modules - batches of Perl code which execute predefined jobs and they are commonly accepted. Basically, instead of generating tailor-made program code to make something or pasting tens and hundreds of lines of program code inside your script, you are able to "call" a module that already exists for this specific process and use only a couple of lines of code. Therefore, your script will be executed much more rapidly because it will be smaller. Using modules will also make a script easier to modify considering that you will have to go through much less program code. If you wish to use Perl on your site, you need to make sure that the needed modules can be found on the server.
Over 3400 Perl Modules in Cloud Hosting
Our cloud plans include over 3400 Perl modules that you are able to employ as a part of your CGI scripts or web-based applications. They contain both widely used and less popular ones, in order to offer you a choice in terms of what features you're able to add to your sites. Some examples are Apache::SOAP, CGI::Session, GD, Image::Magick, URI, LWP and many others. A full list can be found in the Server Information area of our custom Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, which is provided with all the shared accounts. In the same location, you will find the Perl version which we have and the path to the modules that you will have to use inside your scripts in order to call a given module from our library.
Over 3400 Perl Modules in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you need to work with a Perl-based web app or CGI script, it shall be possible to use 3400+ different modules which are available on our cloud hosting platform and are a part of every single semi-dedicated server which we provide. You'll be able to see the entire list whenever you want using your Hepsia CP together with the folder path required for your scripts to access the modules. We acknowledge the fact that some third-party programs might need modules which aren't really popular so as to function efficiently, hence the large selection which we have installed on our end. URI, LWP, DBD::mysql and Image::Magick are amongst the modules which you shall be able to use with your Perl apps regardless of the package deal you opt for.
