Perl is a preferred scripting language which is that is used to build different web-oriented applications, including CGI scripts. One of the features which distinguish it from many other programming languages is the use of modules - parts of Perl program code that complete predefined tasks and they're widely accepted. In simple terms, instead of writing custom 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 that is already available for this specific process and use just a few lines of code. In consequence, your script shall be executed much more quickly because it is smaller. Using modules will, in addition make your script much easier to change because you will need to go through a smaller amount of program code. If you would like to use Perl on your site, you need to ensure that the required modules can be found on your server.
