yes CGI.pm is smart. But if you want better performance, make sure
mod_perl is installed. It will cache all the compiled Perl code for you.
as for the code below. It looks correct. If you wish to make it one
line, you could just use the concat operator
print "The color is " . para
I personally favour HTML::Embperl and HTML::EmbperlObject (part of the
former).
easily installed through CPAN and into Apache for you if you want. Or
you can explicitly call it from a CGI page or command line or another
perl script.
