Perl is a powerful programming language that is widely used for generating CGI scripts and various kinds of web-based apps. Among its major advantages is the fact that it works with modules - ready-made batches of program code that are employed to execute numerous tasks and to enhance the efficiency of a given script without slowing it with unneeded lines of code. In other words, in the event that five jobs need to be executed, you are able to employ five lines of program code to call each one of the modules rather than including hundreds of lines used to create the actual modules inside your script. Perl is really practical and it can be used for a number of purposes, so a lot of companies have implemented it in their web products or on their high-traffic websites - cPanel, IMDB, Craigslist, BugZilla, BBC and many more. It is commonly used with other programming languages for instance PHP or Python.
