Perl is a widespread web-oriented programming language, that is employed to set up CGI scripts and also various applications. It's very convenient since you do not need to write the very same code repeatedly so as to have some task executed a couple of times, instead you are able to work with modules. They are pre-defined subroutines or groups of functions that can be called and executed inside a script. In other words, you are able to add only a reference to a specific module in your code rather than using the entire module code again and again. This way, your script will be shorter, therefore it will be executed faster, not mentioning that it'll be a lot easier to maintain or modify. When you wish to use a third-party ready-made Perl script as an alternative to creating your own, it'll most likely need particular modules to be pre-installed on the web hosting server.
