Perl is a preferred scripting language that's used to create various web-oriented apps, such as CGI scripts. Among the characteristics which distinguish it from various other languages is the use of modules - parts of Perl code that do predefined tasks and they are commonly accepted. Basically, as an alternative to writing custom-made program code to make something or pasting tens and hundreds of lines of program code inside your script, you are able to "call" a module that already exists for this specific process and use only several lines of program code. Consequently, your script shall be executed a lot faster since it will be smaller. Using modules will, in addition make your script simpler to change considering that you'll have to search through a smaller amount of code. If you would like to use Perl on your website, you have to make sure that the necessary modules are present on the server.
