Perl Scripting in Shared Website Hosting
Perl is provided with all Linux shared website hosting packages that we provide and you can execute any kind of .pl file which you upload within your account using the File Manager of the Control Panel or some FTP program. The latter will help you create a site with all the characteristics that you'd like your visitors to have, but PHP fails to offer. You'll be able to execute a script either manually or automatically with a cron job. Our packages come with lots of Perl modules which you're able to employ and you can see the whole list in your web hosting account in addition to the path that you have to use in your scripts, so as to be able to access these modules. If you'd like to execute a Perl/CGI script using a cron job but your package does not offer this feature, you are able to include as many cron jobs as you require from the Add Upgrades/Services link on the left-hand side of the hosting Control Panel.

In case you decide to use a script that you've found online and it requires specific modules to to exist on the server, you're able to reap the benefits of our rich library which features over 3000 modules.
