Seems you do not kow what is Perl or how it works. Visit cpan.org you will find millions or what called Perl Modules, these are parts or Perl that developers ad web hostig companies only install and use only when specific module is needed. For example you already now using many of them now for connection to your mysql server and others for error handling and others for payments gateways, etc, etc,etc. These modules are basically designed by persons or individuals or companies ad posted them on cpan.org. This is the same way as MS Windows work,except that MS in most cases designe their system DLL's or ActiveX's or Libraries however there are many companies provide extra components for developers for example we use inour last Product Snapshot Manager components from 4 companies costing over $3000 and this is the difference between Perl and Windows, In Perl you find millions of ready free modules or plugins or code like what is on cpan.org BUT in Windows you have to pay for everything the developer needs ad that's what really made perl this giant. Hope this clears the idea of how Perl works. |
