Perl is a popular scripting language that's employed to create different web-oriented apps, such as CGI scripts. Among the attributes which distinguish it from many other languages is the use of modules - batches of Perl program code that do predefined jobs and they are commonly accepted. Basically, as an alternative to creating tailor-made program code to do something or pasting tens and hundreds of lines of program code in your script, you'll be able to "call" a module that is already available for this specific process and use only several lines of code. As a result, your script shall be executed more rapidly since it'll be smaller. Using modules will additionally make a script simpler to modify considering that you will need to go through much less code. If you'd like to use Perl on your website, you should ensure that the necessary modules are available on your server.
