Perl is a well-known programming language, which is employed to make various web applications and CGI scripts. A lot of programmers believe that it is one of the most effective languages these days as it supports the usage of modules - small parts of code with pre-defined subroutines which are designed to execute a particular task. The modules will save you a lot of time and they will contribute to the rapid speed of your sites because you're able to include just a single line of code to call a specific module instead of using all the program code for the process in your script. Perl is a versatile programming language generally used for scripts, but it has been used to create a wide range of popular pieces of web software as well, such as cPanel, BugZilla and Movable Type. It is also used on high-traffic websites which includes IMDB, Craigslist, Ticketmaster and many more.
