Perl is a widely used scripting language which is regarded as being one of the most practical languages on the Internet. It is feature-rich and it's used to generate a variety of web-based apps and CGI scripts. What differentiates Perl from most of the alternative languages on the internet is its support for modules - sets of commands for a certain process that can be included in a script by calling them which means that you'll be able to write just a single line inside your script to get an entire module executed, rather than having the entire code which is already a part of the module anyway. As Perl can be used with numerous other languages and it features a lot of options based on what a given application can do, it is used by lots of well-known companies - the BBC, Craigslist, The Internet Movie Database (IMDB), cPanel, and so on.
