Perl, or Practical Extraction Recursive Language, has become one of the most popular server-side scripting languages available today. Perl is used in a wide variety of applications, and is commonly used for website applications. Techtrade maintains the latest version of Perl on all webservers and has installed commonly requested Perl modules.



Through the Personal Control Panel, virtual server clients can install popular Perl scripts on their account with the click of a few buttons. Such scripts include unlimited guestbooks, bulletin boards, free-4-all links, random image and sound scripts, and form mailer programs.



Techtrade maintains more Perl modules that most other webhosting companies. Perl modules allow you to extend the scripting capabilities of Perl and do specialized functions with the code. We currently have installed over 500 Perl modules on each of our webservers.



Techtrade understand the importance of Perl to virtual server clients. Therefore, we always update Perl to the most stable release when possible. This allows our clients to take advantage of improvements and new additions to Perl's capabilities when possible.
