Perl is a well-known programming language and one of its key pros is the fact that it supports the so-called modules - short pieces of code that include subroutines and do a number of tasks. The convenient side of employing modules is that you don't need to write custom-made program code or add the entire code for a specific process every single time it needs to be executed. Alternatively, you are able to add just a single line in your Perl script that calls a certain module, which consequently will perform the needed action. Not only will this lead to shorter and enhanced scripts, but it will also help you make adjustments a lot quicker and much easier. If you aren't a programmer, yet you'd like to begin using a Perl application which you've found on the Internet, for instance, it is likely that the app will need certain modules to be already set up on the hosting server.
