Perl is a widespread language, which is employed to make various web applications and CGI scripts. Lots of programmers believe that it is one of the most effective programming languages in existence since it supports the use of modules - small parts of program code with pre-defined subroutines which are designed to execute a particular task. The modules will save you lots of time and they can contribute to the quick loading speed of your sites since you're able to include only 1 line of program code to call a particular module instead of using all the code for the process within your script. Perl is a universal language often used for scripts, but it's been used to create a number of popular pieces of web software too, such as cPanel, BugZilla and Movable Type. It is also used on high-traffic websites including IMDB, Craigslist, Ticketmaster and many more.
