Perl is a very popular scripting language which is which is used to build different web-oriented apps, which includes CGI scripts. One of the attributes that distinguish it from alternative programming languages is the usage of modules - parts of Perl code that do predefined jobs and they're commonly accepted. In simple terms, instead of writing custom-made code to do something or pasting tens and hundreds of lines of program code in your script, you are able to "call" some module that already exists for this specific task and use only a couple of lines of code. Therefore, your script will be executed faster since it will be smaller. Using modules will, in addition make your script easier to change considering that you will have to go through a smaller amount of program code. In case you want to use Perl on your website, you should ensure that the required modules are present on your server.
