Perl is a popular scripting language that's which is used to create different web-oriented apps, including CGI scripts. One of the attributes which differentiate it from other programming languages is the employment of modules - parts of Perl code that execute predefined jobs and they are widely accepted. Basically, instead of generating custom program code to do something or pasting tens and hundreds of lines of program code in your script, you'll be able to "call" some module which is already available for this particular task and use just several lines of program code. Consequently, your script shall be executed much more rapidly because it is much smaller. Using modules will also make your script easier to modify as you will have to go through a smaller amount of code. In case you intend to use Perl on your website, you have to ensure that the required modules are present on the server.
