Perl is a well-liked web-oriented computer programming language, which is employed to set up CGI scripts and many different applications. It is very useful considering that you do not have to write the same code time and again in order to get some task executed more than once, but you are able to use modules. They're pre-defined subroutines or sets of tasks which can be called and executed inside a script. That is to say, you're able to include only a reference to a given module inside your code as an alternative to using the entire module code time and time again. In this way, your script will be shorter, therefore it'll be executed a lot faster, not mentioning that it'll be a lot easier to maintain and / or modify. If you'd like to employ some third-party ready-made Perl script rather than creating your own, it will most likely need certain modules to be pre-installed on the web hosting server.
