eperl is not well-maintained (the most recent release is from 1998 and
does not work with perl 5.005 or 5.6) and most of the userbase has moved
on to more current templating packages. 

In the "little language" category, Embperl and Template Toolkit are
popular, maintained choices, while in the "eval" category, HTML::Mason and
Apache::ASP are maintained and widely used.
