Perl is a very popular web-oriented programming language, which is employed to make CGI scripts along with a variety of apps. It's really handy because you don't need to produce the same program code over and over so as to get some task executed more than once, instead you are able to employ modules. They're pre-defined subroutines or groups of functions that can be called and executed inside a script. That is to say, you can include just a reference to a particular module in your code instead of using the whole module code again and again. In this way, your script will be shorter, therefore it shall be executed a lot faster, not mentioning that it'll be a lot easier to maintain or modify. If you'd like to use some third-party ready-made Perl script rather than writing your own, it'll probably need certain modules to be pre-installed on the hosting server.
