weird escmode behaviour

[Michael Smith <mj...@iii.co.uk>]

Hi there,

I wonder if anyone (well, Gerald probably) could explain this unexpected
behaviour when I run embperl in two slighly different ways:

I have in my environment EMBPERL_ESCMODE=0.  When I run "embpexec.pl
escmode.epl" (where escmode.epl just outputs $escmode), I can see that
escmode is set to 0.

However when I run escmode.pl where escmode.pl is the following perl script.

--
#!/usr/local/bin/perl

use HTML::Embperl;
HTML::Embperl::Execute("/export/home/mjs/bin/escmode.epl");
--

escmode.epl tells me that $escmode is set to 3.  Shouldn't it still be set
to 0?

I think you should find that this behavious can easily be replicated.

Thanks

Mike

Execute does not scan the environment per default.
In version before 2.0b6 you need to call ScanEnvironemnt to get the values:

use HTML::Embperl;
my %req ;


HTML::Embperl::ScanEnvironment(\%req) ;
HTML::Embperl::Execute({%req, inputfile =>
"/export/home/mjs/bin/escmode.epl"});

Starting with 2.0b6 you must use the use_env parameter:

use Embperl;
Embperl::Execute({use_env => 1, inputfile =>
"/export/home/mjs/bin/escmode.epl"});
