Nathan Bubna resolved VELOCITY-355.
-----------------------------------

       Resolution: Fixed
    Fix Version/s:     (was: 2.0)
                   1.6

Not really a parser issue.  The missing chars were special tokens and SimpleNode.literal() was not using NodeUtils.tokenLiteral() to get those back.

> I am using VTL (with VPP) to customize a portion of a Perl script. Since Perl
> code has a lot of dollar signs, I am using #literal()/#end to prevent Velocity
> from processing most of the file.  What I find is that single '#' characters
> that are not followed by alpha text are removed (inside #literal()/#end).
> For example:
>   #literal()
>   #!/usr/bin/perl
>   #end
> becomes:
>   !/usr/bin/perl
> I've tried things like escaping the '#' ('\#') but that leaves the backslash
> ('\#!/usr/bin/perl' becomes '\!/usr/bin/perl').  Nothing seems to work.
> I can use a #set to define a variable with the value '#!/usr/bin/perl', but I
> was hoping I would not have to.  It also doesn't help with other single #'s in
> the file (like Perl comments).  For those I have had to double up the hashes.
> I'd be happy to try patching the Velocity source, but I had trouble making heads
> or tails of the parser engine?
