Thanks for letting me know.

Are these scripts called every time someone visits your website? Or are they part of the build process of the website?

If your scripts get ever more complicated it might make sense to cache the resulting HTML files rather than generating them every time dynamically. The script could check whether the HTML file is older than the input file and only then generate output.

Each script is loaded into the browser every time. Storing the HTML would be huge. I came to perl to make my site as teeny-weeny as possible, and I have succeeded. Since I don't have to store so much HTML (some inline elements remain to be coded out), my site has gone from 10 MB (the max allowed on one web server) to a mere 2.5 MB with a lot more content and data! All of those HTML tags take up a lot of space.
