An old offline HTML preprocessor (which can be used for static site generation), written in Perl and C that is still maintained for legacy reasons, but probably not recommended for new sites.
It only works properly if file handles are set to utf8 binmode and we can't expect that all input and output is UTF-8. So disable it completely and go back to classic Perl ASCII-only \s meaning.
