I was asking where did scorpio17 (and apparently you) get the idea that mod_perlite would act as a templating engine and allow you to freely place Perl code within an HTML document.

Sorry. Good question. I was making a rather reckless assumption based on how easy it is to deploy php files and based on the notion of making things as easy as possible for users. I don't have any idea what deployment model the mod_perlites have in mind.

That said, I'll add that, IMO, if you make things any harder at all than php -- even if it's just a little more work -- it'll just be thrown in your face that php is in fact still easier.
