Perl is a well-liked web-oriented computer programming language, which is used to generate CGI scripts as well as many different applications. It's really handy because you don't have to write the very same code again and again so as to have some action executed several times, but you can work with modules. They are pre-defined subroutines or groups of tasks which can be called and executed in a script. That is to say, you can add only a reference to a specific module inside your code as an alternative to using the entire module code over and over again. In this way, your script will be shorter, thus it shall be executed a lot quicker, not mentioning that it'll be a lot easier to maintain or modify. If you'd like to use a third-party ready-made Perl script instead of writing your own, it will probably need certain modules to be present on the web hosting server.
