Perl is a widely used programming language and one of its main advantages is that it works with the so-called modules - short pieces of program code that contain subroutines and do multiple tasks. The convenient side of employing modules is the fact that you won't need to write custom-made program code or add the whole code for some action every time it needs to be performed. Instead, you will be able to add only one line in your Perl script which calls a certain module, which consequently will perform the needed task. Not only will this give you shorter and improved scripts, but it will allow you to make modifications a lot quicker and much easier. If you aren't a programmer, still you would like to begin using a Perl application which you've found on the web, for example, it's likely that the application will require specific modules to be already installed on the hosting server.
Over 3400 Perl Modules in Web Hosting
All of our Linux web hosting service come with over 3400 Perl modules which you'll be able to use as part of your CGI scripts or web-based applications. They contain both widespread and less popular ones, in order to offer you a choice regarding what functions you can add to your sites. A couple of examples are Apache::SOAP, CGI::Session, GD, Image::Magick, URI, LWP and a lot more. A full list is available in the Server Information section of our custom Hepsia web hosting Control Panel, which comes with all of the shared accounts. In the same location, you'll see the Perl version that we have along with the path to the modules that you will have to use inside your scripts so as 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 website hosting platform, you will be able to run almost any script app written in this programming language without a problem regardless of the semi-dedicated server package that you choose. The abovementioned applies for both pre-made applications which you get online and for in-house built ones that you write. We offer such a multitude of modules for a couple of reasons - first of all, to provide you with a selection in respect to what kind of features you will be able to add to your apps and websites and secondly, to ensure that in case you wish to use a ready script, it'll run appropriately regardless of what modules it will require. Because of this, most of the modules in our library are quite popular whereas others are employed very rarely. You can find a list of all modules inside your web hosting Control Panel in addition to the access path that your scripts need so as to use the modules.
