Perl is a well-liked web-oriented programming language, that is designed to make CGI scripts and various applications. It is really useful owing to the fact that you don't need to generate the same code again and again so that you can have some action executed more than once, but you're able to apply modules. These are pre-defined subroutines or groups of functions that can be called and executed in a script. This means that, you can include only a reference to a particular module in your code rather than using the entire module code time and time again. In this way, your script will be shorter, which means that it shall be executed faster, not mentioning that it will be much easier to maintain or modify. When you'd like to employ a third-party ready-made Perl script as an alternative to writing your own, it will most likely need certain modules to be present on the hosting server.
