Perl is a popular scripting language which is designed to create various web-oriented applications, which includes CGI scripts. One of the characteristics which distinguish it from alternative languages is the employment of modules - parts of Perl program code which do predefined jobs and they are widely accepted. Basically, as an alternative to generating custom code to make something or pasting tens and hundreds of lines of program code in the script, you'll be able to "call" a module which already exists for this specific process and use only several lines of code. Thus, your script will be executed more quickly because it will be smaller. Employing modules will also make the script easier to change due to the fact that you'll have to go through a smaller amount of program code. In case you wish to use Perl on your website, you need to ensure that the needed modules are available on the server.
