Yes. It amazes me how many scripts use print far more than they need to. I
use
print qq(
html and perl variables go here
);
all the time. It makes it far easier to see the html at a glance.
As far as embedding perl in html, rather than the other way around, there is
ePerl:
http://www.engelschall.com/sw/eperl/
this site also links to other, similar, software products. Nice thing about
ePerl is that it uses the version of Perl that you have installed, syntax
and all.
