Perl is a well-liked scripting language which is that is used to create different web-oriented applications, which includes CGI scripts. One of the characteristics that distinguish it from other programming languages is the use of modules - batches of Perl code which execute predefined tasks and they're commonly accepted. Basically, as an alternative to generating custom-made program code to perform something or pasting tens and hundreds of lines of code in the script, you will be able to "call" a module that is already available for this specific job and use just a couple of lines of program code. Consequently, your script will be executed more quickly as it is smaller. Employing modules will additionally make the script much easier to modify as you'll have to search through much less program code. In case you'd like to use Perl on your website, you need to ensure that the required modules can be found on the server.
