Perl

Perl is a family of high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming languages. The Perl languages borrow features from other programming languages including C, shell scripting (sh), AWK, and sed. They provide powerful text processing facilities without the arbitrary data-length limits of many contemporary Unix commandline tools, facilitating easy manipulation of text files.

With Getup you can easily deploy and run Perl applications using your favorite framework and databases. Auto-Scale to millions of users without breaking a sweat about server setup and administration. Forget about servers and focus on the code.

Simplify the lifecycle

Deploying Perl application with MySQL is as easy as it can be:

$ rhc app-create App perl-5.10 mysql-5.1

The command will create your gear (server), install and configure Perl, MySQL and git repository on the server. Access your application on the web at http://App-namespace.getup.io - HTTPS works just fine as well, and all applications have a SSL certificate.

Auto scale

What about scale? Don't worry about it, we are specialists in high traffic, simple add the -s parameter when creating your application and voilá - the platform will scale your application.

$ rhc app-create App perl-5.10 -s

The scalability is based on simultaneous connections. The platform will add new gears every time your application receives a traffic spike, automatically.
