Perl is a popular scripting language that is used to make various web-oriented apps, which includes CGI scripts. One of the attributes that distinguish it from many other programming languages is the employment of modules - batches of Perl code which perform predefined tasks and they're widely accepted. Basically, rather than creating custom-made program code to do something or pasting tens and hundreds of lines of program code inside your script, you are able to "call" some module which is already available for this particular task and use just a couple of lines of code. Due to this fact, your script will be executed quicker because it is smaller. Using modules will, in addition make a script simpler to edit because you'll need to go through much less code. In case you want to use Perl on your website, you should make sure that the needed modules can be found on the server.
