converting Embperl files to real perl (?)

hello, Embperl!

is there a possibility to let Embperl convert an Embperl file to real
Perl file so that every webserver without Embperl installed can exec
it? what I mean is:

test.ep:

        [* $scalar='text'; *]
        some nice [+ $scalar +] here =)
        and here is more [+ $scalar +] ...

converted to test.pl:

        #!/usr/local/bin/perl
        $scalar='text';
        print"some nice $scalar here =)\n";
        print"and here is more $scalar ...\n";

...if I can't convert Embperl code to Perl, is it possible to
upload a script (perl module?) to a webserver so that my virtual host
will be able to exec Embperl (without editing any httpd.conf)? I need
it because I don't own a webserver, i want to use a free webspace
provider (port5), where only mod_perl is installed =(

thanx

bye =)

...and may the tux be with you!

I've been using Embperl in a virtual server with success, of course
with a performance penalty. You have to use the embpcgi.pl script that
comes with Embperl and add the following lines in a .htaccess file:

<Files *.epl>
Action text/html /cgi-bin/embpcgi.pl
</files>
AddType text/html .epl


You you have to upload a compiled version of Embperl to your ISP,
unless it lets you use the compiler. In my case my server is running
RedHat and I compiled Embperl on a local box and uploaded all the
files into my home folder. Edit the embpcgi.pl and add the place you
uploaded the files to @INC

BEGIN { unshift @INC, '/home/luiz/perl_libs'}

or under Perl 5.6:
use libs '/home/luiz/perl_libs';


Make a test .epl file and fire it!

Good luck,

No. Embperl 2.0 generates an Perl programm internaly and a tree structure of
the page. That makes it fast. It isn't possible simply to convert this a one
Perl programm, without haveing half of Embperl inside of this program (and
haveing to reimplement lots of C in Perl, which would slow down the whole
thing)

If you have mod_perl installed, you can put the EMbperl configuration in a
.htaccess file instead of the httpd.conf. You still have to install Embperl,
but you can do this in your home directory and add it to Perl's search path.

If you don't have mod_perl, you can use Embperl as CGI (which is slower) or
in the current CVS version and the comming 1.3.4/2.0b4 release you can use
Embperl together with FastCGI, for a non Perl environment
