EMBPEXEC(1p)

✨ EMBPEXEC(1p) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the EMBPEXEC(1p) page — it's a User Contributed Perl Documentation situation, and honestly? it's giving "tiny script, big job" 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

embpexec.pl — run an Embperl file offline, no web server required 🦋

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

embpexec.pl [-o outputfile] [-l logfile] [-d debugflags] htmlfile
[query_string]

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So basically it takes an HTML file — or literally any other ascii file, it's not picky — that has embedded Perl statements in it, and converts it into a standard HTML file. slay. ✨

htmlfile is the full pathname of the HTML file that Embperl should process. like, the whole path, bestie, not just the cute little filename.

query_string is optional and it means the exact same thing as the environment variable QUERY_STRING means when you're invoked as a CGI script. iykyk. so: QUERY_STRING holds everything that comes after the first ? in a URL. your query_string needs to be URL-encoded. and the default? no query string at all. none. zero. a clean slate 🫶

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -o outputfile — optional. tells it which filename to write the output to. the default is stdout, so if you don't say anything it just yells into your terminal. iconic behaviour honestly.
• -o logfile — optional. gives the filename of the logfile. the default is /tmp/embperl.log. 🍓

not me noticing this line says -o again — I'm literally just the messenger here, I copy what the page says, no cap 💀

• -d debugflags — optional. sets the level of debugging, aka what gets written to the log file. the default is nothing. nada. silence. for the exact values, go peek at "EMBPERL_DEBUG" in HTML::Embperl. 📖

and that's the whole vibe check, bestie — this was perl v5.34.0, dated 2022-02-06, and that's the energy we're closing on. go run your files offline, main character 🧚💜
