Xref: usenet.cise.ufl.edu comp.lang.perl.announce:143 comp.lang.perl.modules:2224 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. What's new? 0.11-beta March 25 1997 - Name changed from Embperl to HTML::Embperl!!!!!!!! - FORM & ENV debug output now available in all modes - Ouput from [+ +] and INPUT fields are escaped (e.g. < is send as < ) - end of tables are working as it should - two dimensional tables - added support for list tags (dir, menu, ol, ul, dl) - added support for textarea tag - bug whiches causes an endless loop when using a \ fixed - fixed escaping special html chars above ascii code 128 - fixed some errors It can be downloaded from ftp://ftp.dev.ecos.de/pub/perl/embperl or from CPAN after it has been mirrored.
