Perl Scripting
Perl is one of the most popular programming languages today. Why do many millions of developers work with it?
Perl is a very popular scripting language that's considered to be one of the most practical programming languages on the Internet. It's feature-rich and it's used to generate multiple web-based apps and CGI scripts. What differentiates Perl from most of the other languages on the internet is its compatibility with modules - groups of commands for a specific task that can be integrated into a script just by calling them which means that you are able to write only one line inside your script to have a whole module executed, instead of having the entire program code that is already included in the module anyway. Because Perl is compatible with numerous other programming languages and it features a lot of functions based on what a particular app can do, it's used by many well-known companies - the BBC, Craigslist, The Internet Movie Database (IMDB), cPanel, and many others.

A complete list is available inside the Control Panel and if you wish to use any module, you just have to include the path to our module library within your script. If third-party scripts that you want to include in your website demand a specific module, for instance, you will not have to worry if they will function effectively or not. This way, you will be able to make a dynamic Internet site and supply plenty of attributes to your site visitors.
