Perl is a well-liked scripting language that is designed to create various web-oriented apps, such as CGI scripts. One of the attributes which distinguish it from many other languages is the employment of modules - parts of Perl code which execute predefined tasks and they are widely accepted. Basically, instead of generating tailor-made program code to do something or pasting tens and hundreds of lines of code inside your script, you are able to "call" some module that is already available for this particular task and use only a couple of lines of code. Therefore, your script shall be executed much more quickly since it'll be smaller. Using modules will, in addition make a script much easier to change since you'll need to browse through a smaller amount of code. If you want to use Perl on your website, you need to ensure that the necessary modules are present on the server.
