(oh, top-quoting...)
I did; the examples work when the module has no "." in the name. IOW
this:
"$(g.myroot)/pup" args => "--cfmodule -db server_machines.txt", module =>
"true", contain => in_dir($(g.myroot));
works: I can reference $(pup.dns_domain)
But this:
"$(g.myroot)/pup.pl" args => "--cfmodule -db server_machines.txt", module =>
"true", contain => in_dir($(g.myroot));
does not. The context in the latter case is "pup.pl" which I believe is
the problem, since "." is the namespace delimiter. I also tried:
$(pup_pl.dns_domain)
$(pup.pup_pl.dns_domain)
but none worked. As a suggestion, could the module execution take a
"namespace" string parameter so this is not an issue? And could the
module namespace be converted to a legal namespace without "." or any
other illegal characters?
Thanks
