HTML::Embperl - Embed perl code in HMTL documents

Embperl allows you to embed perl code in your HTML documents. The code
can be used to compute something (e.g. retrieve data from a database) or to

produce output (e.g. display a variable). Also some metacommands are 
available which give you the ability to create "loops" or to conditional 
process your HTML document. As fours feature some HTML tags  are specially
interpreted. This allows dynamic
table/list/menu creation and an easier form processing.
 
Embperl can run offline, as CGI script or as module using mod_perl of the
Apache httpd (which is the fastest approach). A fours method is to let it
run as a separate process, which is at the moment only for debugging 
issues.
