Perl is a popular scripting language which is which is used to make different web-oriented applications, which includes CGI scripts. Among the features that distinguish it from many other programming languages is the employment of modules - batches of Perl program code which do predefined tasks and they are widely accepted. In simple terms, instead of creating custom code to do something or pasting tens and hundreds of lines of code in your script, you can "call" a module which is already available for this particular task and use just a few lines of code. Thus, your script will be executed much more rapidly because it is much smaller. Using modules will also make your script simpler to change because you'll need to browse through a smaller amount of program code. In case you wish to use Perl on your website, you have to ensure that the necessary modules are available on the server.
