Perl is a very popular computer language, that is used to build various web applications and CGI scripts. A lot of programmers consider it to be one of the most practical languages in existence because it supports the use of modules - tiny pieces of program code with pre-defined subroutines which are designed to perform a particular task. The modules will save you lots of time and they will contribute to the rapid loading speed of your websites since you can integrate only 1 line of code to call a certain module instead of using all of the code for the process in your script. Perl is a multi-functional programming language often used for scripts, but it has been used to generate lots of popular pieces of web software too, such as cPanel, BugZilla and Movable Type. It is also employed on high-traffic websites for example IMDB, Craigslist, Ticketmaster and many more.
