Perl Scripting in Shared Web Hosting
Perl is available with all shared web hosting that we provide and you will be able to execute any .pl file which you upload inside your account using the File Manager of the Control Panel or some FTP program. The aforementioned will allow you to make a site with all of the options that you would like your visitors to have, but PHP fails to offer. You're able to execute a script either manually or automatically through a cron job. Our plans feature a large number of Perl modules which you'll be able to employ and you will see the full list in your web hosting account along with the path which you should use in your scripts, so as to be able to access these modules. In case you want to execute a Perl/CGI script using a cron job however your package does not offer this feature, you'll be able to include as many cron jobs as you require from the Add Upgrades/Services link on the left-hand side of the website hosting Control Panel.
Perl Scripting in Semi-dedicated Servers
Perl is supported on all our servers, so if you purchase a semi-dedicated server account from our company, you'll be able to use any custom-made or ready-made CGI script or any other Perl-based web application without difficulty. To save you time and efforts, we have also included several thousand modules which you can employ. You can see the path to the library inside your Hepsia hosting Control Panel and add any module within your scripts. Some third-party scripts, for example, require particular modules, so that they can function efficiently. Executing a .pl file, custom or ready-made, can be done in two ways - manually, in case a website visitor does a specific action on your site, or automatically, when you create a cron job from your account. In the second case, you're able to select the interval according to what your script will do and how often you would like it to run - once every day, hour, minute, etcetera.
