Perl is a very popular programming language, which is used to make various web apps and CGI scripts. Lots of programmers consider it to be among the most efficient languages these days since it supports the usage of modules - compact pieces of code with pre-defined subroutines that are employed to execute a specific task. The modules can help you save a lot of time and they can contribute to the fast speed of your websites because you are able to integrate only one line of code to call a specific module instead of using all of the program code for the process in your script. Perl is a versatile programming language primarily used for scripts, but it's been employed to generate numerous popular pieces of web software as well, for example cPanel, BugZilla and Movable Type. It is also employed on high-traffic sites like IMDB, Craigslist, Ticketmaster and many more.
