Perl is a well-liked scripting language which is designed to create various web-oriented applications, including CGI scripts. Among the features which differentiate it from alternative programming languages is the usage of modules - parts of Perl program code that do predefined jobs and they're commonly accepted. In simple terms, instead of creating tailor-made code to make something or pasting tens and hundreds of lines of program code in the script, you're able to "call" some module that already exists for this specific task and use just a couple of lines of code. Thus, your script will be executed a lot quicker since it will be much smaller. Using modules will, in addition make the script easier to modify because you will have to browse through a smaller amount of code. If you'd like to use Perl on your site, you should make sure that the required modules are available on the server.
