Perl is a popular scripting language which is designed to create various web-oriented applications, such as CGI scripts. One of the attributes that differentiate it from various other programming languages is the employment of modules - batches of Perl code that do predefined tasks and they're commonly accepted. Basically, instead of creating custom-made code to perform something or pasting tens and hundreds of lines of code in your script, you'll be able to "call" a module that already exists for this particular job and use only several lines of program code. Thus, your script will be executed much more rapidly since it will be much smaller. Using modules will also make the script easier to modify since you'll have to go through a smaller amount of code. If you wish to use Perl on your website, you have to ensure that the needed modules are present on your server.
