Perl is a popular scripting language which is which is used to build various web-oriented apps, such as CGI scripts. One of the features that differentiate it from alternative programming languages is the use of modules - batches of Perl program code which complete predefined jobs and they are commonly accepted. Basically, instead of writing custom-made program code to make something or pasting tens and hundreds of lines of program code in the script, you're able to "call" a module which is already available for this particular job and use only a couple of lines of code. This way, your script shall be executed faster as it will be much smaller. Using modules will additionally make the script easier to modify as you will have to browse through a smaller amount of program code. In case you want to use Perl on your site, you need to ensure that the mandatory modules are present on your server.
