Modules and Libraries

Perl is a large language. It attempts to do many things. Larry Wall, the creator and maintainer of Perl, and many others who have developed software for Perl have created a large set of reusable modules for Perl. There are hundreds of useful and reusable Perl modules that can do any conceivable task. This availability of a large number of reusable software modules is yet another reason for Perl’s continued and increasing popularity.
