libembperl-perl

system for building dynamic websites with Perl

Embperl gives you the power to embed Perl code in your HTML/XML documents and the ability to build your Web site out of small reusable objects in an object-oriented style. You can also take advantage of all the usual Perl modules, (including DBI for database access) use their functionality and easily include their output in your web pages. Embperl has several features which are especially useful for creating Websites, including dynamic tables, form field processing, URL escaping/unescaping, session handling, caching, XSLT transformation and more. See http://www.embperl.org/embperl/ for more information about Embperl. This package contains Apache2, FastCGI, CGI and offline versions of Embperl, although you may need to install some additional packages to use some of those modes. Please note that when running under mod_perl, Embperl requires Apache's prefork mpm module and will not work with the more recent worker mpm.
