[OT] Mason Question

[Robert Landrum <rl...@aol.net>]

Is there an easy way to do a perl -c masoncomponent.mc?  I hate having to copy
it to the dev server, and risk other people seeing it before I find out if it
even compiles...

I searched google, but didn't come up with anything.

Suggestions?

Rob

You can write a little perl script that runs Mason in standalone 
mode, as follows ...

my $output;
my $interp = HTML::Mason::Interp->new(
		comp_root  => /my/comp_root,
		out_method => \$output
	);
$interp->exec('/masoncomponent.mc',  %args);

See the "Standalone Mode" section of the Interpreter manual at
