Perl is a well-known scripting language which is used to build various web-oriented apps, including CGI scripts. One of the attributes which distinguish it from other languages is the employment of modules - parts of Perl program code which perform predefined tasks and they're widely accepted. Basically, instead of creating custom-made program code to perform something or pasting tens and hundreds of lines of code in the script, you're able to "call" a module which is already available for this particular task and use only several lines of program code. Because of this, your script will be executed quicker as it is smaller. Employing modules will additionally make a script simpler to modify as you will need to browse through much less code. If you want to use Perl on your site, you need to ensure that the needed modules are available on your server.
