Perl is a widespread programming language and among its main advantages is that it works with the so-called modules - short bits of program code that contain subroutines and execute a variety of tasks. The useful side of employing modules is the fact that you will not need to create custom code or add the entire code for a specific task each and every time it needs to be executed. Instead, you'll be able to add just one line in your Perl script that calls a specific module, that in turn will execute the needed action. Not only will this provide you with shorter and enhanced scripts, but it'll also allow you to make adjustments swifter and easier. If you are not a programmer, yet you would like to start using a Perl application which you've discovered on the Internet, for instance, it is very likely that the application will need certain modules to be already installed on your website hosting server.
Over 3400 Perl Modules in Hosting
All our Linux hosting packages include more than 3400 Perl modules that you can work with as a part of your CGI scripts or web-based apps. They include both widespread and less popular ones, in order to give you different options in terms of what functions you can add to your sites. Several examples are Apache::SOAP, CGI::Session, GD, Image::Magick, URI, LWP and many, many more. The complete list can be found in the Server Information area of our in-house made Hepsia website hosting Control Panel, which is provided with all of the shared accounts. In the same location, you'll find the Perl version which we have and the path to the modules that you'll have to use inside your scripts so as to call a specific module from our library.
