Author Alternatives to Embperl?
Ignoramus26155

I use embperl in my weibserver, but I am dissatisfied with a couple of
aspects of it, such as poor compatibility with mod_perl. Is there some
alternative that would run under Apache that would let me embed perl
code into html pages?

What embperl lets me do is this:

<HTML>
<... other HTML stuff>

[+ perl_expression() +]

perl_expression is called and its result is substituted.

Googling for "similar to embperl" turns up Mason.

This may also be of some use:

Could you elaborate on what you mean by 'poor compatibility with mod_perl'?

In the code snippet you're showing how PERL is embedded into HTML
with Embperl, yet you're asking for something 'that would let you
embed PERL code into html pages' -- so, could you tell what exactly
you find lacking/problematic with Embperl (and some description on
how you see the problem would be solved in a better/cleaner way)?

To be honest, I developed my site algebra.com several years ago and
then did not touch much. My recollection is that I had to jump through
a lot of hoops to get access to the cookie/session data of the user
from embperl.
