     1.4 +haserl (Html And Shell Embedded Runtime Language) is a cgi 
     1.5 +program that runs interpreted scripts.   It combines three 
     1.6 +elements into a single CGI interpreter:
     1.7 +
     1.8 +1. It parses POST and GET requests, placing form-elements as name=value
     1.9 +pairs into the environment for the CGI script to use. It is similar
    1.10 +to uncgi (http://www.midwinter.com/~koreth/uncgi.html) in this respect
    1.11 +
    1.12 +2. It prints the contents of the script as html, and conditionally
    1.13 +interpets text within <% ... %> as shell script.  In this case haserl 
    1.14 +scripts are like a poor-man's version of PHP (http://www.php.net)
    1.15 +
    1.16 +3. It is very small, and so can be used in embedded environments
