Perl is a popular scripting language that's used to create various web-oriented applications, such as CGI scripts. Among the attributes that differentiate it from alternative languages is the usage of modules - parts of Perl code which execute predefined jobs and they are universally accepted. Basically, instead of writing custom program code to do something or pasting tens and hundreds of lines of code in the script, you will be able to "call" some module which already exists for this particular job and use just several lines of program code. In consequence, your script shall be executed faster since it will be smaller. Employing modules will, in addition make a script simpler to change since you'll have to search through a smaller amount of code. If you wish to use Perl on your site, you need to make sure that the mandatory modules can be found on the server.
Over 3400 Perl Modules in Hosting
If you obtain one of the hosting plans that we supply, you'll get access to a rich library of over 3400 Perl modules that are already set up on our cloud server platform. Once you sign in to the Hepsia Control Panel, you will be able to go to the Server Information section where you could see the whole list. Part of them are more common than others, however we have such a large number since we are aware that in case you use an app from a third-party website, it could have certain prerequisites as to which modules have to be present on the server or it may not function efficiently. XML::Parser, URI, LWP and DBD::mysql are among the modules that you can access and use on your sites.
