Well, I wasn't successfull getting around the caching of my perl script output so I stopped trying to get my established perl scripts working under Embperl with little to no changes. I've converted one of them to a more Embperl form and have now gotten around my caching problem.
I'm sure that's what I should have done a while ago. I was just trying to get Embperl templating with very little to no conversion work of my Apache2 registry scripts.
