Embeded Perl

Perl is a common language used for CGI scripting. Embperl is a method of embedding Perl into html pages an serving them via an Apache web server module. More information can be found at the Embperl Home Page.



Server requirements

Using web scripts generated by MacSQL requires certain software be installed and configured on your server. For PHP, your server much be able to process PHP files (normally done by installing mod_php) and PHP must have the appropriate database support compiled in. For Embperl, you must have Embperl and mod_perl installed, along with the DBI module and appropriate DBD modules.
