Perl is a widely used computer language, that is employed to make various web apps and CGI scripts. A number of programmers consider it to be among the most practical programming languages in existence because it supports the use of modules - small parts of code with pre-defined subroutines which are designed to perform a specific task. The modules can help you save lots of time and they can contribute to the rapid speed of your websites because you are able to integrate just one line of program code to call a particular module rather than using all the code for the process in your script. Perl is a versatile programming language generally used for scripts, but it's been employed to generate numerous popular pieces of web software too, for example cPanel, BugZilla and Movable Type. It's also employed on high-traffic sites which includes IMDB, Craigslist, Ticketmaster and many more.
