Perl is a very popular web-oriented computer programming language, that's designed to set up CGI scripts and also a variety of apps. It is really convenient considering that you don't need to create the same program code time and again so that you can get some task executed a couple of times, but you can apply modules. They are pre-defined subroutines or sets of operations which can be called and executed within a script. That is to say, you'll be able to include only a reference to a certain module inside your program code rather than using the whole module code time and time again. In this way, your script will be shorter, which means that it shall be executed quicker, not mentioning that it'll be much easier to maintain and / or modify. When you'd like to employ some third-party ready-made Perl script as an alternative to creating your own, it will most likely need particular modules to be present on the website hosting server.
