in thread Has anyone created, or is aware of a Perl editor, for "in page usage"?

"All of this became possible early on with Netscape/Mozilla's "designMode", and IE's "contentEditable" document tag."

The contenteditable attribute (not tag) does exist, but it's not especially useful on its own. It allows you to place a caret into an HTML element and start typing. It doesn't allow you to insert new HTML elements though (such as <b> or <ul>), and doesn't allow you to "do" anything with the text you've typed (such as submit it in a form).

To do anything else you'll need to use a scripting language which runs within the browser.

In pre-11 Microsoft Internet Explorers you may be able to persuade the browser to run Perl scripts if ActiveState PerlScript is installed on the client machine. For any other browser, you're out of luck - Javascript is the only scripting language they support.

use Moops; class Cow :rw { has name => (default => 'Ermintrude') }; say Cow->new->name

    Understood, tobyink, and my apologies for not having better articulated my thoughts/concept.

    I'll wait till I have experimented with the concept I am envisioning, before elaborating further.

    Thanks for your thoughtful response, tobyink
