Hiya Max,
funnily enough I too was looking at Embperl the other day for a project but
I wasn't a 100% convinced of it and so decided to stick with CGI and then
convert later if I needed.
I think Embperl is much happier if running with mod_perl/registry - I think
you 'can' run it outside mod_perl but this isn't really a prod env option.
Session handling looks like its already intergrated in
http://perl.apache.org/embperl/Embperl.pod.7.html#Session_handling
I don't know what time/project constraints your under but if, for example,
you need to get this done soon and the HTML isn't gonna change every 5 mins
and its gonna be you doing the changes, you may as well embed the HTML code
into the CGI scripts you currently have.
Are you saying that the HTML code is commion to the different CGI scripts?
You can still do this - you could, for example write a simple module which
all scripts 'use' and then print your HTML from there....
Have you looked at the CGI scripts? Are you confident you can alter them?
You must have spotted where the old HTML code is - should simply be a matter
of replacing that code.
regards
Joel

joel,
i guess i didn't word that correctly. i have a set of cgi scripts, each of
them need to be able to follow state information using hidden tags. i need
to add some html design to these cgi's, make them look nicer. i would
prefer to edit one file, with html and perl embedded in it, sort of like
php. i also would like to move to mod_perl in the future and would rather
not have to rewrite each script.
would Embperl be my best bet? is following state hard to do with Embperl,
and mod_perl?

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
