in reply to How do you embed a Perl script into an HTML document?

From your question, I'd assume you're talking about using CGI.
For this, check out CGI.pm from CPAN as a programming module. It's very useful.
If you're not familiar with the process of CGI programming, I'd suggest reading a small book about it, or doing a few searches here.. I'm sure there are a few tutorials on it.
The basis of CGI is that you have a Perl script on the web server, which is invoked when a browser points to it. The output of the Perl program is the html of the page. Inputs are achieved via forms.
Well, that's very simplistic, but you'll get the idea searching round.
Hope this helps some,

Malk
