- ePerl -- Embedded Perl 5 for HTML
+ ePerl -- Embedded Perl 5 Language
- ePerl interprets a HTML markup file bristled with Perl 5 program
- statements by expanding the Perl 5 code. It operates as a stand-alone
- NPH-CGI/1.0 compliant Unix program and produces pure HTML markup code
- as the resulting data.
+ Version 2.1.1 (01-05-1997)
+
+ 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 both as a standard Unix filter for general file generation tasks
+ and as a powerful Webserver scripting language for dynamic HTML page
+ programming.
