Perl is a widespread web-oriented programming language, that's used to create CGI scripts and also many different applications. It is very convenient since you don't need to write the very same program code over and over so that you can get some process executed a couple of times, but you'll be able to use modules. They're pre-defined subroutines or groups of activities that can be called and executed inside a script. In other words, you are able to add only a reference to a particular module inside your program code instead of using the entire module code again and again. This way, your script will be shorter, thus it will be executed a lot quicker, not mentioning that it will be easier to maintain and / or modify. In case you'd like to use some third-party ready-made Perl script as an alternative to writing your own, it will probably need specific modules to be present on the web hosting server.

More than 3400 Perl modules will be at your disposal when you get any of our shared web hosting plans. You can use as many as you'd like and we've made sure that we offer all the well-known ones, and many others which may not be used that much, but may be a prerequisite for some third-party web app that you wish to use or for a custom-made script to work effectively. LWP, URI, GD, CGI::Session and Image::Magick are just a couple of examples of the modules you will be able to access. You are able to see the list in your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel along with the path which you need to set inside your scripts, so they can use our module library. When you use our shared packages, you can use any kind of Perl-based script without any restrictions.
