In "From the crown of his head to the sole of his foot..." (clearly a reference to a Gilligan's Island episode where Lovey said something similar :), we have:
:header{ ..., odd => "Act, $act, Scene $scene ...", ... }
and below, text indicating that it will
"prepend the act and scene information to the start of any odd page (except, of course, the first or the last), ..."
I don't see how that can be. The string will be evaluated and
interpolated at the time the option pair is constructed,
Yep.
most likely with C<$act> and C<$scene> undef.
The implication is they hold the current scene and act.
After that, the same static text will appear in the header.
Correct. For the current scene and act.
I never said it would be dynamic.
I suppose
... odd => sub { "Act, $act, Scene $scene ..." }, ...
would work, though.
Yes indeed. Though you'd still need some way of dynamically setting those two variables as you format.
