Hi,

I currently working on all that issuses you send me. Some of them may
already solved in my development version here by some fixes I made today

update later or today morning.

Re: 2.0b3 problems

Hi,

I have resolved most of the problems (and a few more). I send a new version
to Mike. Anybodyelse can get the corrected version from the CVS (use branch
Embperl2c). Here is what I have done:

works now

fixed

I am not quite sure if this is fixed now. I don't get the error here. If you
get the same error with new version, please try

>   [- Execute('/export/home/michaels/public_html/header.epl'); -]
>   foo

instead. Does this change anything ? If yes, do you have more files called
header.epl ?

Only Execute didn't worked on the first line. Works now correctly.

> * POD Seems to need to be put within embperl comments

pod works in [- -] too. It didn't worked when you wrote [-=pod without an
newline, this works now too, but it is necessary to have a =cut at the end
of your pod block. Putting pod's it [# #] is a little bit faster.

> * Calling Execute inside HTML tags does not work properly

This is still true. Workaround is

[- Execute ({inputfile => 'whatever.epl', output => \$out}) -]
<tag [+ $out +]>

lines
> beyond the end of a file

I don't have seen this, unless the Perl interpreter can detect the error
only after the end of the file. This is a problem of Perl. Anyway if you can
provide an example, I take a look at it.

> * Unsure what this error means: ERR: 49: Line 0: Endtag 'DocumentFraq'
> doesn't match starttag ''if', starttag should be 'DocumentFraq''

This mean that a [$endif$] is missing at the end of your document.

> [$ foreach $item (qw(a b c
> )) $]
> <li>[- print OUT $item -]</li>
> [$ endforeach $]
> </ul>

print to OUT inside a loop doesn't work correctly yet. Use [+ +] instead:

<li>[+ $item +]</li>

that's also faster. I put this on the todo list, but I don't expect it to
fix it very soon.
