Perl is a widespread web-oriented computer programming language, which is employed to create CGI scripts and a variety of apps. It's really convenient considering that you don't need to generate the same code over and over to get some action executed a couple of times, but you are able to work with modules. They are pre-defined subroutines or groups of functions which can be called and executed in a script. In other words, you will be able to add just a reference to a given module in your program code as an alternative to using the whole module code time and time again. This way, your script will be shorter, which means that it'll be executed a lot faster, not mentioning that it'll be much simpler to maintain and / or modify. When you want to employ some third-party ready-made Perl script as an alternative to writing your own, it will probably need certain modules to be present on the web hosting server.
Over 3400 Perl Modules in Shared Web Hosting
If you buy one of the shared web hosting plans that we offer, you'll receive access to a rich library of more than 3400 Perl modules which are already set up on our cloud server platform. When you sign in to the Hepsia Control Panel, you'll be able to visit the Server Information area where you can easily check the full list. Some of them are more common than others, yet we offer such a large number because we realize that in case you use an app from some third-party website, it may have specific requirements as to which modules need to be available on the server or it will not function efficiently. XML::Parser, URI, LWP and DBD::mysql are on the list of modules that you are able to access and employ on your sites.
