Perl is a popular scripting language that is employed to make different web-oriented applications, which includes CGI scripts. One of the features which differentiate it from alternative programming languages is the use of modules - parts of Perl program code which perform predefined tasks and they're widely accepted. In simple terms, as an alternative to generating custom-made code to do something or pasting tens and hundreds of lines of code inside your script, you will be able to "call" some module that already exists for this specific process and use only several lines of code. Because of this, your script shall be executed more rapidly since it is much smaller. Using modules will also make a script easier to change considering that you'll have to search through much less program code. If you intend to use Perl on your website, you should ensure that the needed modules are available on your server.
Over 3400 Perl Modules in Cloud Hosting
If you buy one of the Linux cloud hosting plans that we provide, you will receive access to a rich library of over 3400 Perl modules that are already installed on our cloud server platform. After you sign in to the Hepsia Control Panel, you'll be able to go to the Server Information area where you can check the whole list. Some of them are more common than others, but we have such a large selection as we are aware that if you employ an application from some third-party website, it may have certain prerequisites as to what modules need to be installed on the server or it might not function appropriately. XML::Parser, URI, LWP and DBD::mysql are on the list of modules that you'll be able to access and take advantage of on your websites.
Over 3400 Perl Modules in Semi-dedicated Servers
All of our Linux semi-dedicated servers offer a huge selection of Perl modules which you may use with your scripts. In this way, even if you need to use an application which you've discovered online from a different website, you can be certain that it shall be effective because regardless what modules it could possibly require, we will have them. Our selection consists of more than 3400 modules such as DBD::mysql, URI, LWP, XML::Parser and much more - some of them are commonly used and others not so much. We keep such a significant number to be on the safe side and to be certain that any script will work on our web servers even if some module which it needs is used rarely. The entire list of modules which you can use can be found within the Hepsia web hosting CP that comes with the semi-dedicated accounts.
