<P><FONT SIZE=2>Andy Moore gave an excellent presentation on HTML::Mason last month. Its too bad the turnout was so disappointing. And no that is not a slur against Doug Sparling (the other person in attendance). I gave reviews of the Official Guide to Programming with CGI.pm and Programming Web Services with Perl. And we talked until the Planet Sub guys got our attention long enough to mention everyone else had left the building 15 minutes earlier when they'd closed...</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>A follow up from the meeting. -I figured out why my CGI perl scripts would given an error when I'd included a __END__ or __DATA__ token in my perl scripts. The error was:</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2> Missing right curly or square bracket at ... line ..., at end of line</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>The reason is that I was using Apache mod_perl and the Apache::Registry for the perl handler. Apache::Registry reads your scripts into a string which it caches and evals as needed. __END__ and __DATA__ aren't eval friendly.</FONT></P>
