Hello Lelton,
I usually do it the same way as Ed suggested. Use a different file
extension for Embperl pages and pure perl pages. Here's an exerpt from
my apache.conf:
Options +ExecCGI
AddHandler cgi-script .pl
<FilesMatch ".*\.html$">
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler HTML::EmbperlObject
</FilesMatch>
So .html files are handles by Embperl and .pl files are just plainly
called. If performance would be important for this website I could have
used the mod_perl registry for the .pl files.
The form (in your Embperl code) then looks like:
<form action="download.pl">
<input name="whatever"/>
</form>
And my stub for download.pl:
#!/usr/bin/env perl
use CGI;
my $cgi=new CGI;
my $whatever=$cgi->param('whatever');
my $c=magic_function_to_generate_content_into_scalar($whatever);
print "Content-Type: image/png\n\n";
print $c;
exit 0;
