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:
  1. Embed Perl tags.
  2. Not a framework.
  3. 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!
