Back in the halcyon days of the
Perl You Need to Know Part 4, we looked at
inserting the output from Perl-based
CGI scripts into pre-fabricated template
pages. Ah, good times, good times. Now, some 11 Perls You Need to Know later,
we're more sophisticated and urbane, thirsting for shaken martinis and
intrigued by the promises of embedded scripting languages, made popular by
Microsoft's Active Server Pages (ASP)
and the open-source
PHP. Why embedded? Embedded
scripting lets you intermingle powerful programming within
HTML documents, streamlining
the process of creating dynamic, template-based pages. Perl fiends need not
be left out in the cold -- there are several options for embedding Perl into
HTML, and we'll look at several today, ultimately focusing on the
Apache::ASP module.
