You can't do this, because Embperl has to know how to process the file, before it could process the file and exctract the name of the recipe from the file. What you can do is, to make a (meta-)recipe that decides what recipe to use for example by using the file extentions, or you can use the newly indtroduced application object to do this. Look at eg/web/epwebapp.pl, this is an application object, it's get_recipe method is called by Embperl for every file it processes, eg/web/epwebapp.pl get_recipe now looks at the file extention of the file on the filesystem and at the file extention of the file that the user requested and chooses the correct recipe, syntax and other parameters.
