  ePerl -- Embedded Perl 5 Language

ePerl interprets an ASCII file bristled with Perl 5 program statements by
evaluating the Perl 5 code while passing through the plain ASCII data. 
It can operate in various ways:  As a stand-alone Unix filter or
integrated Perl 5 module for general file generation tasks and as a
powerful Webserver scripting language for dynamic HTML page programming.
