I'm trying get beyond Perl and CGI to do more sophisticated templating.  
Before I take the plunge into PHP, I thought I'd check out some of the 
Perl-based templating system, like HTML::Mason and Embperl.  That latter 
looks particularly promising, if I could get it to work.

I'm running LM 9.0, with Apache 1.3.26, mod_perl 1.3.26_1.27, and Embperl 
1.3.26_1.3.4 installed.  Mod_perl seems to work when I put Perl scripts in 
the /perl/ directory instead of cgi-bin.  I have http.conf with the 
following:

<IfModule mod_perl.c>
    PerlModule HTML::Embperl
    SetEnv EMBPERL_DEBUG 2285
    <Files *.epl>
       SetHandler perl-script
       PerlHandler HTML::Embperl
       Options ExecCGI
    </Files>
    #AddType text/html .epl
</IfModule>

I have a "hello world" .epl file in my document root.  Right now it just comes 
up as the source code of the file.  This occurs whether or not I comment out 
the AddType text/html .epl  I've tried building Embperl from source but it 
won't compile.  Is it broken or is it just some configuration trick?

Thanks,

Dan
