2.0b8 and single quotes in html

[Saadiq Rodgers-King <sa...@nyc.rr.com>]

I just installed Perl 5.6.1 and Embperl 2.0b8 on a box to start
transitioning my 1.3.4 stuff over.  Are single quotes no longer allowed
in html?  I was getting a compilation error because of a select option
including a single quote.

<option>St. Ann's Bay</option>

To fix I either had to use the html escape &#36; or make it a Perl
string to escape it like below.

<option>[+ 'St. Ann\'s Bay' +]</option>

Is this behaving as it should?  Thanks.

Saadiq

This is a bug in 2.0b8. It's doesn't corretly escapes the signle quote when
it assigns the option value to the %idat hash.

I fix this as soon as possible
