Perl is a widespread web-oriented computer programming language, which is designed to make CGI scripts as well as various applications. It is very practical considering that you do not need to create the very same code time and again to have some task executed a couple of times, but you are able to apply modules. They are pre-defined subroutines or groups of tasks that can be called and executed in a script. In other words, you will be able to include only a reference to a specific module within your program code rather than using the whole module code again and again. This way, your script will be shorter, which means that it'll be executed more rapidly, not mentioning that it'll be much easier to maintain or modify. When you'd like to employ some third-party ready-made Perl script rather than writing your own, it'll probably need particular modules to be pre-installed on the hosting server.

The whole list accessible in the Server Information section of our custom Hepsia hosting Control Panel, that is featured with all the shared accounts. In the same location, you'll find the Perl version which we have and the path to the modules that you will have to use in your scripts to call a particular module from the library.
