in reply to Extending the Perl Syntax on PERL + HTML envirionments.

Aside from the fact that its ugly, unintuitive and breaks perl builtins, why not just steal even more from php and simliar things and allow flow control to wrap html? Something like: 
<html>
    <body>
        <table>
            <% for( @loop ) { %>
                <tr><td><% $_ %></td></tr>
            <% } %>
        </table>
    </body>
</html>

    This kinde of code already exists in the syntax of the template system. But when the developer is inside a CODE BLOCK and want to print some HTML data, the use of quoted strings is not so goo, this is why I'm thinking in this extension of the syntax.
