Perl and CGI used to be very popular for building websites and scripts many years ago. But today, most websites use newer languages like PHP or Node.js. Because of this, Perl is now considered outdated by industry standards.
At DataPacket, our shared hosting plans no longer support Perl or CGI scripts. These types of scripts require special setup and older server tools that are not commonly used anymore in shared environments.
If you still need to run Perl or CGI scripts, you can do that with a VPS or dedicated server. These options give you full control to install and run any software you need, including Perl.
If you're not sure what hosting plan is best for your needs, just reach out and we’ll help you pick the right one.
