PTM is a Perl/HTML hybrid language, written
entirely in Perl, and similar to PHP in tag
syntax. It allows for the ease of PHP-style inline
code in your dynamic HTML documents, while
supplying the power of Perl that many find to be
sorely lacking in PHP. PTM's parser application,
referred to as the PPA, acts as an Apache plugin,
a standalone parser placed in the cgi-bin, or a
command line parser (for debugging purposes), and
is distributed for both Unix and Window platforms.
Additionally, PTM wraps many variables common to
PHP to ease the transition between PTM and PHP
when switching back and forth.
