Perl is a popular scripting language that's that is used to build different web-oriented applications, including CGI scripts. Among the features that differentiate it from various other languages is the usage of modules - batches of Perl code which execute predefined jobs and they're widely accepted. Basically, as an alternative to generating custom-made program code to perform something or pasting tens and hundreds of lines of program code in the script, you can "call" a module that is already available for this specific job and use only a couple of lines of program code. Due to this, your script will be executed a lot quicker as it'll be much smaller. Using modules will also make the script easier to modify since you will need to go through a smaller amount of code. In case you would like to use Perl on your site, you need to make sure that the necessary modules can be found on your server.
