Perl is a popular programming language and among its major advantages is the fact that it works with the so-called modules - short bits of program code which contain subroutines and do a variety of tasks. The practical side of using modules is the fact that you do not need to write custom program code or add the entire code for a particular action every time it needs to be executed. Instead, you can add just a single line in your Perl script that calls a specific module, which consequently will perform the necessary action. Not only will this lead to shorter and more optimized scripts, but it will also help you make modifications a lot quicker and much easier. If you aren't a programmer, still you'd like to start using a Perl application that you've found on the Internet, for example, it is likely that the app will require specific modules to be already set up on the hosting server.
