We use ePerl for a fair number of things, and I have yet to run into
something we needed of which it was not capable. What are you
thinking of?
I'm not trying to start a holy war - embperl is darn nifty, and I
haven't used any of the other packages enough to have a solid opinion
of them. Right tool for the job, use what's comfortable, blah blah
blah.
ePerl is butt-simple to install, and a snap to learn ("put your perl in
<? here !>"). We've been using it for ~4 years (I think), and have
never seen a problem with it. IIRC, according to the various
benchmarks that bounce around periodically, it's not as fast as some of
the other packages, but that's never been an issue for us.
Just asking.
cheers,
Todd
