i have been looking around a little and found Embperl.  i plan to move to
mod_perl in the near future but have a bunch of cgi scripts that i want to
add html to.  i want to break out the html from the cgi.  would Embperl be
my best choice?  is it difficult to handle state info using Embperl or
mod_perl for that matter?

Two options come to mind offhand.

We use Template Toolkit where I work (http://www.template-toolkit.org/).
There's a bit of a
learning curve but it's incredibly powerful and fast.  Also, it's not
limited to HTML.  You can
use it with business documents, XML, whatever you want to template.

HTML::Template is a nice, lightweight option that's ridiculously easy to
use.  I wrote up a quick
start guide for it (http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=46976) which
also explains *why* one
would want to use templates.

Good luck!

Cheers,
Curtis Poe
