Perl Scripting
Determine why Perl will be the go-to scripting language for a great deal of programmers.
Perl is a popular computer language, that is used to set up various web applications and CGI scripts. Many programmers believe that it is one of the most practical languages nowadays because it supports the usage of modules - tiny pieces of code with pre-defined subroutines that are designed to perform a certain task. The modules can help you save lots of time and they will contribute to the fast speed of your websites because you are able to include only 1 line of program code to call a certain module rather than using all of the code for the task in your script. Perl is a multi-functional programming language often used for scripts, but it has been employed to generate a lot of popular pieces of web software as well, for instance cPanel, BugZilla and Movable Type. It is also employed on high-traffic sites for example IMDB, Craigslist, Ticketmaster and many more.
