Perl is a well-known scripting language which is used to build different web-oriented apps, such as CGI scripts. One of the characteristics which distinguish it from other languages is the employment of modules - batches of Perl code which do predefined tasks and they're universally accepted. Basically, rather than writing custom-made code to perform something or pasting tens and hundreds of lines of program code in your script, you're able to "call" a module that already exists for this particular process and use only a couple of lines of program code. Due to this fact, your script shall be executed more quickly because it is smaller. Employing modules will additionally make the script much easier to modify since you'll need to browse through much less program code. If you intend to use Perl on your site, you should ensure that the necessary modules are present on the server.
