I just want to embed Perl tags like PHP does.
I'd rather not use a framework if possible.
I want a simple Perl replacement for PHP.

This is what the OP wants. It may not be what you want, but it is what the OP wants. Give people what they want:

Embed Perl tags.
Not a framework.
Simple.

Markup::Perl

  use Markup::Perl;
  <html>
  <body>
  <p>
  Your "lucky number" is
  <i><perl> print int rand 10 </perl></i>
  </p>
  </body>
  </html>

Dear Monks,

Please do not downvote and censor this node for giving OP a correct answer to the question they asked about a capability they want from Perl. That attitude is why something as bad as PHP utterly devastated Perl's dominance of web programming. Here we are a few decades later and you guys still refuse to give people what they want!

Dear Anonymous Monk, > Please do not downvote and censor this node for giving OP a correct answer.. Actually I see `Reputation: 9 (no significant downvotes)` and this is a normal trend here nowadays. Perhaps a decade or two ago it would be something like `Reputation: 50 (-5)` but here we are.. The smaller community has its advantages: lesser flames and trolling: I see downvotes only on blatantly bad answers and yes, we still have some bad contributors, but the medium level of partecipation is very hight. I'm not speaking of me, of course. > .. and you guys still refuse to give people what they want! Here I dissent. The complex process of understanding and the trip of knowledge is not built on: I want `a` so give me `a` but more like: well you claim to wont `a` but do you know about `à` or `A` ? With children your best is to offer a wide panorama, not a narrow path to follow, so almost every advice is welcome and no, there is not the true answer (apart `42` obviously ;) I abandoned many years ago the idea of leading people through a specific path. By far better to offer your own look of the panorama and let them choose or even invent their own one. We all assume erickp being adult and already a programmer. Maybe they see Text::XSlate and it opens their mind, maybe not: who are us to judge or forecast something? Just offer your contribution in a good way. Stop. With love too.
