Perl is a preferred scripting language that's designed to create different web-oriented applications, which includes CGI scripts. One of the characteristics which differentiate it from other programming languages is the use of modules - parts of Perl code which complete predefined tasks and they are widely accepted. Basically, rather than creating custom program code to perform something or pasting tens and hundreds of lines of code inside your script, you're able to "call" some module that is already available for this particular job and use just a couple of lines of code. Consequently, your script shall be executed a lot faster because it is smaller. Employing modules will additionally make your script easier to change because you'll need to search through much less program code. If you want to use Perl on your site, you need to ensure that the needed modules are present on your server.
