Perl is a well-known scripting language which is designed to build various web-oriented applications, including CGI scripts. Among the characteristics that distinguish it from many other languages is the employment of modules - batches of Perl program code that execute predefined tasks and they are widely accepted. In simple terms, as an alternative to writing tailor-made code to do something or pasting tens and hundreds of lines of program code inside your script, you are able to "call" some module which is already available for this particular process and use only a few lines of program code. Thus, your script shall be executed quicker since it will be smaller. Using modules will additionally make a script easier to modify considering that you will need to search through much less code. In case you would like to use Perl on your website, you have to ensure that the mandatory modules are present on the server.
