Embperl has started as a Perl module for embedding Perl into HTML. Over time it has grown up to a system for dynamic generating content (not only) in a web environment based on Apache and mod_perl. This includes session handling, management of form data and http headers, dynamic tables, input and output escaping, modularisation and much more.

While the talk will give a short introduction to this features it will focus on the new developments of Embperl:

• Building websites out of overloadable objects
• Extending Embperl by defining custom tag/command handlers
• Chaining of multiple processors
• Using Embperl to process XML and XSL
• Separation of code and design
• Caching strategies for high performance websites
