Perl is a well-known programming language and one of its major advantages is the fact that it supports the so-called modules - short bits of code that include subroutines and execute different tasks. The handy side of using modules is that you won't need to create custom program code or include the whole code for a specific action every time it should be performed. Alternatively, you can include only one line in your Perl script which calls a specific module, which consequently will execute the needed action. Not only will this result in shorter and improved scripts, but it'll also allow you to make changes faster and easier. If you aren't a programmer, but you would like to employ a Perl app which you've found on the web, for instance, it is very likely that the app will need certain modules to be already installed on your web hosting server.
Over 3400 Perl Modules in Shared Web Hosting
All our Linux shared web hosting packages come with more than 3400 Perl modules which you will be able to take advantage of as a part of your CGI scripts or web-based applications. They include both widely used and less popular ones, to supply you with a choice regarding what functionality you'll be able to add to your websites. Some examples are Apache::SOAP, CGI::Session, GD, Image::Magick, URI, LWP and a lot more. The whole list accessible in the Server Information area of our custom-built Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, which comes with all of the shared accounts. In the same place, you'll see the Perl version that we have and the path to the modules that you'll need to use inside your scripts to call a particular module from the library.
Over 3400 Perl Modules in Semi-dedicated Hosting
Every semi-dedicated server that we offer will allow you to employ any Perl-based web application that you'd like, regardless if you have created it yourself or if you have downloaded it from a third-party website. Either way, it will function flawlessly regardless of the modules it requires since we have a massive library that contains over 3400 different modules. A complete list is accessible in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel which is used to manage the semi-dedicated server accounts. Along with that list, you'll also find the directory path to the modules, in order to know what you need to add in your scripts in order for them to connect to the modules. A few examples of what we have are URI, DBD::mysql, Image::Magick and LWP and we've got such a multitude of modules to ensure that any script will be able to run regardless of its requirements.
