+ Embperl gives you the power to embed Perl code in your HTML
+documents. Using Perl means being able to use a very
+elaborate programming language, which is widely used for
+WWW purposes. You can also use hundreds of Perl modules
+which have already been written - including DBI - for
+database access to a growing number of database systems.
+
+ While this could also be done with other packages, Embperl
+has several features especially for HTML: dynamic tables,
+formfield-processing, escaping/unescaping and more.
+
+ Embperl is a server-side tool, which means it's
+browser-indpendent. It can run in various ways: Under
+mod_perl, as a cgi script, or offline.
+
+ There is also a module for Database access within Embperl,
+look at DBIx::Recordset.
