Perl is a very popular computer language, which is employed to create various web applications and CGI scripts. Many programmers consider it to be among the most practical languages nowadays as it supports the usage of modules - small parts of code with pre-defined subroutines which are designed to execute a certain task. The modules will save you lots of time and they will contribute to the quick loading speed of your websites since you'll be able to integrate just a single line of code to call a certain module instead of using all the code for the process within your script. Perl is a multi-functional programming language primarily used for scripts, but it has been employed to create a number of popular pieces of web software as well, for example cPanel, BugZilla and Movable Type. It is also employed on high-traffic websites like IMDB, Craigslist, Ticketmaster and many more.
