Perl is a very popular scripting language that is employed to build various web-oriented apps, including CGI scripts. Among the features that distinguish it from alternative languages is the use of modules - parts of Perl program code that do predefined jobs and they are widely accepted. In simple terms, rather than writing custom-made code to make something or pasting tens and hundreds of lines of code in the script, you can "call" some module that already exists for this specific process and use only a couple of lines of code. Thus, your script shall be executed a lot quicker as it is much smaller. Employing modules will additionally make a script much easier to edit as you'll need to go through much less program code. If you intend to use Perl on your site, you should make sure that the necessary modules can be found on the server.
