Perl Hosting

Among the large array of applications, and modules we also support Perl.

What is Perl?

Perl is the brainchild of Larry Wall. He continues to develop and maintain the language, which, through the help of the net.community, is available on virtually every computer platform, from Apple Macintosh to VMS.

Perl is an acronym for "Practical Extraction and Report Language", although you'll sometimes hear it referred to as the "Pathologically Eclectic Rubbish Lister." It started out as a scripting language to supplement rn, the ubiquitous USENET reader, which Wall also wrote. (Most people could only dream of writing a program that is installed on every UNIX box on the planet - Larry has two.)

It is an interpreted language that is optimized for string manipulation, I/O, and system tasks. It has built ins for almost everything that's in section 2 of the UNIX manuals, which makes it very popular with system administrators. It incorporates syntax elements from the Bourne shell, csh, awk, sed, grep, and C.

Perl has gained recent attention in the explosion of the World Wide Web as a quick and effective way to mock up applications that provide much of the web's interactivity. It has a lot of syntax that can make scripts contain more characters from the top row of the keyboard than any other, but that is not necessary to get anything done. In fact, there are few of the traditional limitations that interpreted languages impose.

Client Testimonial:

Olu Gittens - "My experience with Flux Services has been excellent! The control panel is very usable and easy to navigate. They offer 3 different choices of email software. Flux offers a number of services, including automatic Post Nuke installation, as well as e-commerce, blog and bulletin board set-up via Fantastico. But most of all, their support team is VERY accessible. When I needed the help, they manually transferred two different CMS-based sites over for me. They've readily answered all my questions. Their customer support is thorough, on time and upbeat. No question is too small for them. This is a web host you can really grow with."
