Alternatives to Embperl? - comp.os.linux.misc

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. i

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)? -- Wolf a.k.a.

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. i
