Perl is a popular computer language, which is employed to make various web applications and CGI scripts. Lots of programmers consider it to be among the most effective languages these days because it supports the usage of modules - tiny parts of code with pre-defined subroutines which are employed to execute a particular task. The modules will save you lots of time and they will contribute to the rapid speed of your websites because you'll be able to integrate only one line of code to call a particular module rather than using all of the program code for the task within your script. Perl is a multi-functional programming language often used for scripts, but it's been used to generate a number of popular pieces of web software as well, such as cPanel, BugZilla and Movable Type. It's also employed on high-traffic sites including IMDB, Craigslist, Ticketmaster and many more.
