Perl is a very popular scripting language that is that is used to make various web-oriented applications, such as CGI scripts. One of the attributes which differentiate it from alternative programming languages is the usage of modules - parts of Perl code that execute predefined jobs and they are universally accepted. Basically, instead of creating custom-made code to make something or pasting tens and hundreds of lines of program code in the script, you are able to "call" a module which is already available for this specific job and use just a few lines of program code. Thus, your script shall be executed much more rapidly because it'll be much smaller. Employing modules will, in addition make your script simpler to change as you will need to browse through a smaller amount of program code. If you would like to use Perl on your website, you should make sure that the needed modules are available on your server.
