Perl is a well-known computer language, which is employed to set up various web applications and CGI scripts. A lot of programmers believe that it is among the most effective languages these days as it supports the usage of modules - tiny pieces of program code with pre-defined subroutines that are employed to execute a particular task. The modules can help you save a lot of time and they will contribute to the fast speed of your sites because you will be able to integrate just one line of code to call a specific module rather than using all the code for the task within your script. Perl is a versatile language normally used for scripts, but it's been employed to generate a variety of popular pieces of web software as well, for example cPanel, BugZilla and Movable Type. It is also used on high-traffic sites including IMDB, Craigslist, Ticketmaster and many others.
