Perl is a very popular computer language, that is employed to make various web apps and CGI scripts. A lot of programmers consider it to be one of the most effective programming languages out there since it supports the usage of modules - small parts of code with pre-defined subroutines that are used to perform a particular task. The modules can help you save a lot of time and they will contribute to the fast loading speed of your websites since you are able to include just one line of program code to call a particular module instead of using all the code for the task within your script. Perl is a universal language most often used for scripts, but it's been used to create a number of popular pieces of web software too, for instance cPanel, BugZilla and Movable Type. It's also employed on high-traffic websites for example IMDB, Craigslist, Ticketmaster and many others.

With each and every plan, you'll be provided with access to over 3000 modules which you're able to use in your scripts and you'll find a full list inside your Hepsia hosting Control Panel along with the path which you have to use so as to get access to them. When you use any kind of script that you've downloaded from some third-party site, you can be sure that it will function perfectly no matter what modules it requires for that. Every .pl script can be executed manually or you can set up a cron job to do this automatically at a pre-set time interval. In case your hosting plan doesn't include cron jobs, you can include this attribute with a few clicks within the Upgrades section of the Control Panel.
