Escape Mode displays value.

[Ian Van Der Poel <iv...@dlwc.nsw.gov.au>]

The following line of code works in 1.3 but gives a syntax error in 2

  [+ local $escmode = 0; $searchlist +]

I changed it to 

  [+ local $escmode = 0 +]
  [+ $searchlist +]

and this works but it displays the "0" in the output page. Has this format changed for version 2.

Regards

IAN

For performace reasons, 2.0 allows only valid Perl expression inside a [+ +]
block (see README.v2), just rewrite it as

[+ do { local $escmode = 0; $searchlist } +]

and it should work again.

Yes, because [+ +] will always output the result of the expression (here
$escmode). Additionaly $escmode will not correctly set in the next block to
zero or it will set for the rest of the page (I am not quite sure what Perl
does with the local inside an expression)
