1 haserl (Html And Shell Embedded Runtime Language) is a cgi
2 program that runs interpreted scripts. It combines three
3 elements into a single CGI interpreter:
5 1. It parses POST and GET requests, placing form-elements as name=value
6 pairs into the environment for the CGI script to use. It is similar

9 2. It prints the contents of the script as html, and conditionally
10 interpets text within <% ... %> as shell script. In this case haserl
