Perl is a preferred scripting language that's that is used to build various web-oriented applications, including CGI scripts. Among the attributes that distinguish it from various other languages is the employment of modules - parts of Perl code that execute predefined jobs and they're universally accepted. In simple terms, as an alternative to generating tailor-made program code to do something or pasting tens and hundreds of lines of program code in your script, you're able to "call" some module that already exists for this specific job and use just a couple of lines of code. As a result, your script will be executed a lot quicker because it will be much smaller. Employing modules will, in addition make the script easier to modify because you will need to go through much less code. In case you intend to use Perl on your site, you should ensure that the necessary modules are available on your server.
