Embperl gives you the power to embed Perl code in your HTML
|
|
documents. Using Perl means being able to use a very
|
|
elaborate programming language, which is widely used for
|
|
WWW purposes. You can also use hundreds of Perl modules
|
|
which have already been written - including DBI - for
|
|
database access to a growing number of database systems.
|
|
|
|
While this could also be done with other packages, Embperl
|
|
has several features especially for HTML: dynamic tables,
|
|
formfield-processing, escaping/unescaping and more.
|
|
|
|
Embperl is a server-side tool, which means it's
|
|
browser-independent. It can run in various ways: Under
|
|
mod_perl, as a cgi script, or offline.
|
|
|
|
There is also a module for Database access within Embperl,
|
|
look at DBIx::Recordset.
