Perl is a popular programming language, that is employed to build various web applications and CGI scripts. Lots of programmers consider it to be one of the most practical languages these days since it supports the use of modules - tiny bits of code with pre-defined subroutines which are employed to perform a specific task. The modules will save you time and effort and they can contribute to the rapid speed of your sites because you're able to include only 1 line of code to call a particular module instead of using all the code for the process within your script. Perl is a universal programming language normally used for scripts, but it's been used to generate lots of popular pieces of web software too, such as cPanel, BugZilla and Movable Type. It is also used on high-traffic sites including IMDB, Craigslist, Ticketmaster and many more.
