Perl is a well-liked scripting language that's designed to build different web-oriented apps, which includes CGI scripts. Among the attributes that distinguish it from other languages is the usage of modules - parts of Perl program code that do predefined jobs and they're commonly accepted. In simple terms, rather than writing tailor-made code to do something or pasting tens and hundreds of lines of code in your script, you will be able to "call" a module that is already available for this specific process and use just a few lines of code. Consequently, your script shall be executed a lot faster because it'll be much smaller. Using modules will also make a script easier to modify considering that you'll need to browse through much less code. If you would like to use Perl on your website, you should make sure that the needed modules are available on the server.
