Perl is a preferred scripting language that's which is used to build different web-oriented apps, which includes CGI scripts. One of the attributes which differentiate it from many other programming languages is the usage of modules - batches of Perl program code which execute predefined jobs and they are commonly accepted. In simple terms, rather than generating tailor-made code to make something or pasting tens and hundreds of lines of code in the script, you will be able to "call" a module that is already available for this specific process and use just a couple of lines of code. This way, your script will be executed much more rapidly because it will be smaller. Using modules will additionally make the script simpler to change as you'll have to go through a smaller amount of program code. In case you wish to use Perl on your site, you need to ensure that the necessary modules are present on your server.
