Perl is a popular scripting language that is used to build different web-oriented applications, including CGI scripts. One of the features that differentiate it from alternative languages is the usage of modules - batches of Perl code which execute predefined tasks and they're commonly accepted. Basically, instead of writing tailor-made code to perform something or pasting tens and hundreds of lines of program code in the script, you will be able to "call" some module which is already available for this particular job and use only several lines of program code. As a result, your script shall be executed faster because it is smaller. Using modules will, in addition make your script easier to change considering that you will need to browse through a smaller amount of code. In case you intend to use Perl on your website, you should ensure that the necessary modules can be found on the server.

They contain both widely used and less popular ones, so as to offer you a choice in terms of what functionality you'll be able to add to your websites. A few examples are Apache::SOAP, CGI::Session, GD, Image::Magick, URI, LWP and many, many more. The whole list is available in the Server Information area of our in-house built Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes with all the shared accounts. In the same place, you can find the Perl version which we have along with the path to the modules that you'll have to use within your scripts to call a certain module from our library.

Over 3400 Perl Modules in Semi-dedicated Hosting

With over 3400 Perl modules pre-installed on our cloud web hosting platform, you are able to manage almost any script app created in this programming language without a problem irrespective of the semi-dedicated server plan that you choose. The abovementioned is valid for both pre-made apps which you get online and for custom-made ones which you write. We supply such a large number of modules for two reasons - first of all, to provide you with a choice in respect to what kind of characteristics you will be able to add to your apps and sites and second, to ensure that if you'd like to work with a ready script, it will run appropriately regardless of what modules it requires. That's why, most of the modules included in our library are quite popular whereas others are employed rarely. You will find a list of all of the modules inside your web hosting Control Panel along with the access path that your scripts need in order to use these modules.
