Haven't used it recently but the subrequest process is probably what
you're after:

http://perl.apache.org/embperl/pod/intro/IntroEmbperl2.-page-8-.htm

"When running Embperl with Apache 2.0 there are some extented
possibilities. While Apache 1.x has send all it's ouput directly to the
browser, Apache 2.0 introduces a concept of filters, which allows to
process the output of any Apache handler through a chain of filters.
Embperl can use this to embed any output that Apache can generate as a
Embperl::Object component, just like it is any native Embperl page. This
can be done by using the subreq parameter:

[- Execute ({subreq=>'/cgi-bin/script.cgi'}) -]

The above code includes the output of a cgi script into a page."

Cheers,

Andrew

Andrew;

Thanks for the suggestion. I had tried using Execute with the subreq
option, but I had problems, which might be related to our using FastCGI.

I also had tried using Execute with the object option, which seemed ideal,
but could not get it to work. Your pointer to the documentation gave me a
clue as to why I could't get it to work. There is an optional parameter to
the object option called syntax. The default syntax is HTML+Embperl. I
needed to specify Perl as the syntax. This allows me to create an new App
object from any _app.pl within my application tree:

my $app2 = Execute({object => '<path>/_app.pl', syntax => 'Perl'});

Thanks and regards,
