Perl Scripting
Perl is one of the most popular programming languages nowadays. Why do millions of developers work with it?
Perl is a very popular language, that is employed to create various web apps and CGI scripts. Many programmers consider it to be one of the most effective languages these days since it supports the usage of modules - small bits of code with pre-defined subroutines which are designed to execute a certain task. The modules can save you a lot of time and they will contribute to the quick loading speed of your sites because you will be able to integrate only one line of program code to call a certain module instead of using all of the program code for the process in your script. Perl is a versatile programming language most often used for scripts, but it's been employed to generate numerous popular pieces of web software as well, like cPanel, BugZilla and Movable Type. It is also used on high-traffic sites for example IMDB, Craigslist, Ticketmaster and many others.
