Perl Scripting in Website Hosting
Perl is available with all the website hosting packages that we offer and you are able to execute any .pl file that you upload within your account with the File Manager of the Control Panel or an FTP program. This will enable you to build a site with all the features that you would like your visitors to have, but PHP doesn't supply. You will be able to execute a script either manually or automatically with a cron job. Our plans come with thousands of Perl modules that you can use and you'll see the complete list in your hosting account along with the path that you should include in your scripts, in order to be able to access these modules. If you would like to execute a Perl/CGI script through a cron job however your plan doesn't offer this feature, you are able to add as many cron jobs as you require through the Add Upgrades/Services link on the left-hand side of your hosting Control Panel.
Perl Scripting in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Perl is supported on all of our servers, so in case you buy a semi-dedicated server account from us, you will be able to use any kind of custom-made or ready-made CGI script or another Perl-based web app without any difficulties. To save your time and efforts, we've also set up several thousand modules which you can employ. You will be able to see the path to the library inside your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and include any module within your scripts. Some third-party scripts, for example, will need specific modules, so that they can work properly. Executing a .pl file, custom or ready-made, is possible in two separate ways - manually, in case a visitor does a particular action on your site, or automatically, if you set up a cron job from your account. In the second case, you'll be able to select the interval based on what your script will do and how often you want it to run - once every day, hour, minute, etc.
