Have you ever wanted to do this?

<html>
<head>
<title>Hello, Perl World!</title>

    <script type="text/perl">
    print "Hello, Perl World!\n";
    </script>

</head>
<body></body>
</html>

Nice, but you omitted an important line from the example:

<script src="webperl.js"></script>
[download]

I did not try it yet, but I like the idea. Running Perl in the browser is nothing new, it is part of ActivePerl since at least 2001, but their implementation is limited to some versions of the IE, and it is by default limited to the local net, because the perl interpreter was not limited to the browser context (i.e. you could run any code as the user running the IE by simply making the user visit a website containing perl code). See also Re^2: Can Perl do anything Java can do?.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
