Perl is a well-known scripting language which is used to create various web-oriented applications, such as CGI scripts. Among the features that differentiate it from many other languages is the employment of modules - parts of Perl program code that perform predefined tasks and they're commonly accepted. Basically, rather than generating custom program code to perform something or pasting tens and hundreds of lines of program code inside your script, you can "call" some module which is already available for this specific job and use just a couple of lines of code. In consequence, your script shall be executed quicker because it will be smaller. Employing modules will also make the script easier to change since you'll need to browse through a smaller amount of code. In case you would like to use Perl on your site, you should make sure that the mandatory modules are available on the server.
