Perl Scripting in Cloud Web Hosting
Provided you obtain a cloud web hosting service from us, you are able to run Perl/CGI scripts without any problems as we have plenty of modules on the cloud hosting platform where the shared accounts are created. With each and every package, you will be provided with access to more than 3000 modules that you can use in your scripts and you'll find a full list inside your Hepsia web hosting Control Panel as well as the path which you have to use in order to access them. In case you use any kind of script which you've downloaded from some third-party site, you can be sure that it'll work perfectly whatever the modules it requires for that. Every .pl script can be executed manually or you will be able to set up a cron job to do this automatically at a given time interval. If your website hosting plan doesn't come with cron jobs, you will be able to include this attribute with a couple of clicks in the Upgrades area of the Control Panel.
Perl Scripting in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you wish to include CGI scripts on your sites or another Perl-based application for that matter, you will not experience any kind of problems if you use a semi-dedicated server account from our company. Thousands of Perl modules are set up on our servers and you will be able to call each of them by including the path that you will find in your Control Panel into the script that you've selected. Any time you download some application from a third-party website, for example, you can be sure that you will be able to work with it no matter what modules it requires to function. Provided that your .pl files include the proper UNIX permissions to ensure they are executable, you're able to select whether a specific script will be run manually by a visitor doing something on your site, or automatically by creating a cron job inside your account. Using the second option, your script can be run every minute, hour or day in accordance with your preference.
