This is .htaccess that works perfectly well for me:

=====================================================
PerlSetEnv EMBPERL_OPTIONS 8208
PerlSetEnv EMBPERL_ESCMODE 0
PerlSetEnv EMBPERL_DEBUG 1
<FilesMatch ".*\.html$">
PerlSetEnv EMBPERL_FILESMATCH "\.html$"
PerlSetEnv EMBPERL_OBJECT_BASE base.html
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler HTML::EmbperlObject
Options ExecCGI
</FilesMatch>
=====================================================

I use HTML::Embperl with .htaccess quite often and works
fine - I just seem to recall I had problems when I used
both SetVar and PerlSetVar, so now I just use PerlSetVar
everywhere.

P.S. For performance reason you might want to put stuff into
<VirtualHost> section instead of .htaccess - it works the same way
but it's faster. If your admin will allow it.

I'm a bit confused about using .html versus .epl extensions with
EmbPerl. Could somebody explain how and when you use which filetype for
what reason?

The server knows that .epl is an EmbPerl file and that works fine.

With the above .htaccess file am I declaring .html files below the
.htaccess file to be processed by EmbPerl?
In which case, I should make sure not to use plain html files, or they
would be processed uneccessarily by EmbPerl.

Thanks,

Marcus Friedlander

Right.

No harm caused, just a minor hit in speed. (Well, if you have any
syntax problems in them, embperl might complain.)

In general, use .epl and leave .html to normal serving if your site
is primarily raw html files. If on the other hand, the majority of
files use Embperl, then you might as well make your life easier and
let embperl process all the files automatically.

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.

You could use whatever fileextention you like. Embperl doesn't care.

You could tell the server the fileextention(s) which should be used by
Embperl

Yes, .html file are processed by EmbperlObject and, if you have declared it
elsewhere, .epl file are processed by normal Embperl. Maybe you should
change .html to .epl?

yes
