Perl is a widespread computer language, that is used to create various web apps and CGI scripts. The majority of programmers believe that it is among the most efficient languages nowadays as it supports the use of modules - tiny parts of code with pre-defined subroutines which are used to perform a specific task. The modules can save you a lot of time and they will contribute to the quick loading speed of your sites since you can integrate only one line of code to call a given module instead of using all of the code for the process in your script. Perl is a universal language primarily used for scripts, but it has been employed to generate a number of popular pieces of web software as well, such as cPanel, BugZilla and Movable Type. It's also used on high-traffic sites which includes IMDB, Craigslist, Ticketmaster and many more.
