Perl Scripting
Discover precisely why Perl is the go-to scripting language for tons of programmers.
Perl is a popular language, which is used to build various web apps and CGI scripts. Many programmers believe that it is among the most efficient languages available since it supports the use of modules - tiny bits of code with pre-defined subroutines that are employed to perform a specific task. The modules can help you save lots of time and they can contribute to the fast loading speed of your sites as you can integrate just a single line of code to call a certain module rather than using all of the program code for the process in your script. Perl is a versatile language most often used for scripts, but it has been employed to create a wide range of popular pieces of web software too, like cPanel, BugZilla and Movable Type. It is also employed on high-traffic sites including IMDB, Craigslist, Ticketmaster and many others.
