Perl is a preferred scripting language that's used to build various web-oriented applications, such as CGI scripts. Among the attributes that distinguish it from alternative languages is the employment of modules - batches of Perl program code which complete predefined tasks and they are widely accepted. In simple terms, as an alternative to generating tailor-made program code to perform something or pasting tens and hundreds of lines of code inside your script, you will be able to "call" some module that already exists for this particular job and use just a couple of lines of code. Because of this, your script will be executed a lot quicker since it will be much smaller. Employing modules will also make your script simpler to edit considering that you'll need to search through a smaller amount of code. In case you would like to use Perl on your site, you need to make sure that the mandatory modules are available on the server.
