I need to work on several files that are probably 10+ years old. Apart from=
minor changes, they haven't been touched for the past 6 years. The dev=
is no longer with the company.

interpret the code.

The file I'm interested in a file that contains 4700 lines of HTML, emb=
edded Perl, CSS and JavaScript. What is the best way to deconstruct this fi=
le with a view to understanding how everything hangs together?
