What do you mean by "cancel submission". Can you describe more detailed what
should happen?

For example i have a form like this
<form action="http://www.greendomino.com/cgi-bin/FormMail.pl" method="post" onSubmit="
return checkComment(this); // stop submission if false
">
.. some input
</form>

I used a javascript, checkComment, to validate the inputs.
I'd like to know if there is a substitute for the javascript in
embperl.

Embperl is a server side tool, so you cannot validate/cancel the input
before you send it to the server. After the data is submitted to the server,
the server can validate the data and, if nesseccary, display the form again,
along with an error message. See
http://perl.apache.org/embperl/Examples.html#input_htm for an example.
