Hi, Embperl is still alive :-), also it's moving slowly :-(
The version in the svn and the dev snapshot 2.5.0_1 (which can be found at http://www.embperl.org/downloads/ ) solves the debian problem. There are some problems left with mod_perl and perl 5.14 and 5.16 . There is a solution for the "compile error" problem in the current svn version (but this causes some warnings when a page is changed and recompiled). Please use Version 2.5.0_1 or the source from the svn if you run Perl 5.14 or 5.16 . The good news is that I currently working on a payed project which includes fixing Embperl for Perl 5.14 & 5.16, so hopefully there will be a new release in a few weeks, which solves all these problems.
