how do you embed perl in html?

[esotericsean]

okay, i've read through all of yourhtmlsource's perl section and mostly understand it. now, i have an html page and would like to implement a few little scripts into it without writing the entire page in the .cgi file. when doing so, do you always have to use a <form action="whatever.cgi"> ? or is there another way of embedding it? i basically want to use a little cgi script here, here, and here (just something small that uses print to output some text).

i'm pretty new to perl, so any ideas?

As a starting point, I'd recommend using HTML::Template.
