As I said, I'm a total n00b concerning Perl. Until today I only knew that it existed somewhere, hehe.
Mind you, I'm not trying to stir up shit here, just trying to help. "Perl worms" were the first thing that came into my mind after reading the previous posts, so I just wanted to mention it.

What exactly is the difference between Perl and embedded Perl (embperl)?

I looked around on perl.com and /perl.apache.org/embperl for a bit, but couldn't find an exact explanation of the differences.
Perl has lots of low level IO functions, embperl doesn't seem to have these. Is embperl just an addition to normal Perl featuring all functions of its "father"?

If so, it might be a good idea to block their use in EQEmu.
