Perl is a popular programming language and one of its major pros is that it works with the so-called modules - short pieces of program code that include subroutines and execute various tasks. The handy side of working with modules is that you won't have to write custom program code or include the whole code for a certain process whenever it has to be executed. Instead, you will be able to include only one line in your Perl script that calls a given module, which consequently will perform the necessary task. Not only will this result in shorter and optimized scripts, but it'll also allow you to make adjustments quicker and easier. If you are not a programmer, yet you'd like to work with a Perl application that you've found on the Internet, for instance, it's very likely that the app will require some modules to be already installed on your hosting server.

Over 3400 Perl Modules in Hosting

All our hosting plans include over 3400 Perl modules that you can take advantage of as part of your CGI scripts or web-based apps. They contain both widely used and less popular ones, in order to give you different options with regard to what capabilities you'll be able to add to your sites. A couple of examples are Apache::SOAP, CGI::Session, GD, Image::Magick, URI, LWP and many others. A full list is available in the Server Information area of our custom-built Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, that comes with all shared accounts. In the same location, you'll find the Perl version that we have along with the path to the modules that you will have to use in your scripts to call a specific module from the library.

Over 3400 Perl Modules in Semi-dedicated Servers

With over 3400 Perl modules pre-installed on our cloud web hosting platform, you'll be able to run any kind of script application written in this programming language without a problem regardless of the semi-dedicated server plan that you select. This is valid for both pre-made apps which you get online and for tailor-made ones which you create. We supply such a large number of modules for two reasons - first of all, to give you a selection in respect to what characteristics you're able to add to your apps and websites and secondly, to guarantee that in case you want to employ a ready script, it will run properly whatever the modules it needs. That's why, most of the modules included in our library are very popular while others are employed very rarely. You'll find a list of all the modules inside your website hosting Control Panel together with the access path which your scripts need to use the modules.
