Perl is a popular scripting language that's employed to build different web-oriented apps, such as CGI scripts. One of the features that differentiate it from many other programming languages is the employment of modules - parts of Perl code which complete predefined tasks and they are widely accepted. In simple terms, instead of creating custom-made program code to perform something or pasting tens and hundreds of lines of code in your script, you will be able to "call" some module which is already available for this particular task and use just a couple of lines of code. In consequence, your script shall be executed much more quickly as it'll be much smaller. Using modules will additionally make your script easier to change because you will have to search through a smaller amount of program code. In case you'd like to use Perl on your site, you should ensure that the required modules can be found on the server.
