Major Improvements are that Embperl now supports Perl up to 5.12.2 and
a lot of additions to Embperl::Form, a module for building smart webforms.

---

Embperl is a system for building dynamic websites with Perl.

It gives you the power to embed Perl code in your HTML/XML documents and 
the ability to build your Web site out of small reusable objects in an 
object-oriented style. 

Embperl has several features which are especially useful for creating 
Websites, including dynamic tables, form field processing, URL 
escaping/unescaping, session handling, caching, xslt transformation and 
more.

See http://perl.apache.org/embperl/ (english) or 
http://www.ecos.de/embperl/ (german) for more information.
(website is not updated yet, but this will follow shortly)

Enjoy
