Perl is a preferred scripting language that is that is used to make various web-oriented apps, which includes CGI scripts. Among the attributes which distinguish it from various other programming languages is the employment of modules - batches of Perl code that do predefined tasks and they're universally accepted. In simple terms, as an alternative to generating custom program code to do something or pasting tens and hundreds of lines of code in the script, you are able to "call" a module that is already available for this particular task and use only a couple of lines of program code. Thus, your script will be executed a lot faster because it is much smaller. Using modules will also make a script much easier to modify due to the fact that you will have to search through a smaller amount of code. If you'd like to use Perl on your website, you have to ensure that the required modules are available on the server.
