Okay, this is coming up again and I want to get it nailed down. Current semantics, as defined: $Px = compreg $Sy returns a compiler for language $Sy. compreg $Sx, $Py defines $Py as the compiler for language $Sx. $Px = compile $Py, $Sz uses compiler $Py (from a compreg call) to compile the

running Devel::Cover in mod_perl (1.3)

2004-09-20 Thread Kevin Scaldeferri
The current version of Devel::Cover asserts that running it on a mod_perl server ought to be as simple as adding 'use Devel::Cover' to your startup script. However, when I do this, I get the following failure: Syntax error on line 1225 of /home/kevin/.../conf/httpd.conf: Can't use an undefined

Well, we were shooting for an end-of-August release, but needless to say that's not happened. Both Leo and my translators were reasonably near completion, and need to be pushed that final bit of the way. Neither of us have the time, so... Anyone want to take a shot? Leo's builds faster code but

Yup. See languages/tcl/lib/tclword.imc (in namespace "TclWord"). Called by languages/tcl/lib/parse.imc (in namespace "_Tcl"). Without the explicit call to init, it's not being called (as a debug print in TclWord's __init shows for me.) (And, since the initialization of the object isn't done, futu

Unary dot and custom control

2004-09-20 Thread Luke Palmer
I came across this slight annoyance working in Perl 5 today: sub preserve(&) {...} sub foo { preserve { $_[0]->bar; } } That didn't call "bar" on the invocant of "foo", but rather on "undef", because preserve's block was a hiding sub. Perl 6 is making it
