You have been give many-a-suggestion already, some of which are silly, and some of which are good. My advice is simple: teach them some perl. They are at heart programmers, and as such, should be familiar with some concepts. You should just introduce in *loose*terms* what modules are, and how they fit into this application. Most importantly, give out reading material, like abstract's for modules, along with short examples. For example: 
DBI - Database independent interface for Perl

use strict;
use DBI;
my $DataBaseHandle = DBI->connect(......

[download]
You get the picture.

If, however, the programmers are totally clueless about stuff like "CGI", I suggest also a primer on that, as reading material only, ....

You've spoken with the guys, right? Well if you didn't, please do. Prod them a little bit, gauge their general knowledge of the components involved in your project, and then bring plenty of reading material, to hand out at the end of your presentation (as well as the reading material to hand out before).

Hopefully you get my drift, even though it can't articulate it well at this moment. Good hunting ;)
