DESCRIPTION

PLP is yet another Perl embedder, primarily for HTML documents. Unlike with other Perl embedders, there is no need to learn a meta-syntax or object model: one can just use the normal Perl constructs. PLP runs under mod_perl for speeds comparable to those of PHP, but can also be run as a CGI script.

WEBSITE

For now, all documentation is on the website. Everything will be POD one day, but until that day, you will need to visit http://plp.juerd.nl/

NO WARRANTY

No warranty, no guarantees. Use PLP at your own risk, as I disclaim all responsibility.
