- Included the "translation" of the Embperl POD to a human-readable
form done by Todd Eigenschink
- Started a FAQ file from the questions I answered by e-mail
- Added the function Execute, which can be called from Perl programs
(or Apache::Registry scripts), and can take input from (and/or
output to) memory, as suggested by Doug Bagley and Randy Harmon
(Look at test/html/registry/Execute.htm for an example)
- Changed the source so that it will compile on aix, spotted by
Patrick McAuliffe
- Access sys_errlist via perl macro Strerror to avoid errors with
redeclaration, thanks for spotting this to Honza Jirousek
- Changed the tab size from 4 to 8 in my editor to be compatible with
Unix standard
- Added warning if dbgLogLink is set and EMBPERL_VIRTLOG is not
- Changed the delimiter of metacommand from space to any non-alpha char
to allow writing [$while(a==b)$] as suggested by Michael D. Dowling
- Added config variable EMBPERL_ESCMODE to set inital values of $escmode
as suggested by Todd Eigenschink
- Added [! ... !]. Does just the same as [- ... -] but will only execute
on the first request for that document. This can be used to do one-time
initialization and to define subroutines.
- Changed push_handlers to register_cleanup, so PERL_STACKED_HANDLERS and
PERL_CLEANUP aren't necessary anymore, as suggested by Doug MacEachern
- If it exists, the function CLEANUP of the processed document will be called
before the variable cleanup, but after the connection to the client is closed
- Added a closing </font> in the logfile which is sent to the browser, otherwise
MS IE 4 can't handle it
- Changed Perl constants in Perl part from subroutines to "real" constants
- Did some general rearranging of code
- Fixed a memory leak which caused Embperl to lose one sv per Perl
block when a document is reloaded
- Fixed a bug which caused [+... +] within the Textarea tag to be ignored,
spotted by Todd Eigenschink
- Fixed a bug in sorting hidden fields
- Fixed a wrong argument to MakeMaker, which was causing Embperl to not be able
to build statically, spotted by Anatoli Belomestnov (and added a
description to the Faq on how to build a copy of Embperl which is statically-
linked to mod_perl)
- Fixed a problem which was causing the LOG filehandle to not be imported in
the documents package, this was causing everything printed to LOG to sort
of disappear
=head1 0.24-beta 13 Jan 1998
- Added the option optRawInput which causes Embperl not to pre-process the
source for a Perl expression (the only exception is that CR will be removed).
This option should be set when you are writing your code with an ascii editor.
If you are using a WYSIWYG editor, which inserts unwanted HTML tags in your
Perl expressions and escapes special characters automatically (i.e.
< will occur as < in the source), you should not set this option, and
Embperl will automatically convert the HTML input back to the Perl
expression you have written. (Thanks to Todd R. Eigenschink for a patch)
- $0 is set to the filename of the HTML source
- Change Current Working Directory to directory of HTML source
- Warning messages are now also logged in logfile at the correct
position, next to the source line
- Perl error and warning messages contain the filename and correct
linenumber of the HTML source
- Sourcelines in logfile contain linenumbers
- Output via [+ ... +] of undefined values at the end of a dynamic table
(which must be there to end the table) do not generate a warning anymore
NOTE: If you use them in an expression (such as $a = $arr[$row] or simply
inside " ", you will still get a warning)
- Open HTML source in binary mode on Win32 to avoid overhead of crlf -> lf
translation.
- Use aplog_error for apache_1.3 to avoid senseless os errors written to
httpd error log
- Removed some uninitializied value messages when running with
-w / PerlWarn on, spotted by Todd R. Eigenschink
- Fixed a bug which has caused nested 'while' loops to execute incorrectly
if the condition of the outer one is false
