That's what I always tried to avoid within the configuration of Embperl. I
have tried to keep it as simple as possible for the first start. If you have
mod_perl up and running, you just tell Apache to handle for example .epl
files by HTML::Embperl and your are done. (exactly 6 lines to copy and paste
form the Embperl docs into yout httpd.conf ), but as I understand Jonathan
he (and Mason) has a slightly other intention in this area.
