Perl is a widely used programming language and one of its key advantages is that it works with the so-called modules - short pieces of program code that contain subroutines and do different tasks. The beneficial side of using modules is that you will not need to write custom-made program code or add the entire code for a given task whenever it needs to be executed. Alternatively, you are able to include only one line in your Perl script that calls a specific module, that in turn will execute the needed task. Not only will this provide you with shorter and optimized scripts, but it will also allow you to make adjustments quicker and easier. In case you are not a programmer, still you'd like to work with a Perl app which you've found on the Internet, for instance, it's likely that the app will need specific modules to be already installed on your website hosting server.
