If I may be so bold, I believe the syntax your looking for is as follows:
<form>
[- $fdat{'x'} = 'I was processed by embperl'; -]
<input type=text name=x value="[+ $fdat{'x'} +]">
</form>

The input tag will _never_ be processed to get the value form %fdat when
it's part of your output. The only thing that changes when changing $escmode
is with $escmode=0 you get
<input type="text" name="x">
with $escmode=3 you get
<input type="text" name="x">
The later one is display by the browser as text, where the first one is
interpreted by the browser as input tag.
NOTE: This behaviour occurs when you have set optRawInput, otherwise it gets
more complicated

$escmode = 0 does _not_ disable any parsing, really only the escaping. If
you see anythingelse, it's a bug, but for me it works as expected.

Therefor the above suggestion will not work
