in reply to [OT?] Other Languages

I use PHP when I have something simple I want to embed in a page and I don't want to mess with templates. I know a lot of Perl programmers think mixing code and HTML is evil, but the dark side of the force is seductive...

It's too bad there isn't a page extension that lets you embed Perl. I'd dump PHP in a flash. 

<?perl print for reverse 1..10; print "BLASTOFF!"; ?>

    gloryhack mentioned HTML::EmbPerl. That would look like: 
    <html>
...
[- print for reverse 1..10; print "BLASTOFF!"; -]
...
</html>

    There's also Apache::ASP. It would look so very different as to be: 
    <html>
...
<% print for reverse 1..10; print "BLASTOFF!"; %>
...
</html>

    Egadz! There's also several others (for example HTML::Mason, which (much like Apache::ASP) can be used in a fairly light-weight manner, as well as more template-heavy). For what it's worth, I've used both and prefer Apache::ASP.
