Max,
Embperl wont "break out the html from the cgi" if I'm guessing that you want
to seperate the server side code from the html presentation.
Embperl is embedded perl in html pages (much like ASP in IIS or PHP).
What are your requirements for your project?
regards
Joel

i have been looking around a little and found Embperl. i plan to move to
mod_perl in the near future but have a bunch of cgi scripts that i want to
add html to. i want to break out the html from the cgi. would Embperl be
my best choice? is it difficult to handle state info using Embperl or
mod_perl for that matter?

Two options come to mind offhand.
We use Template Toolkit where I work (http://www.template-toolkit.org/).
There's a bit of a
learning curve but it's incredibly powerful and fast. Also, it's not
limited to HTML. You can
use it with business documents, XML, whatever you want to template.
HTML::Template is a nice, lightweight option that's ridiculously easy to
use. I wrote up a quick
start guide for it (http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=46976) which
also explains *why* one
would want to use templates.
Good luck!
Cheers,
Curtis Poe
