I am using VTL (with VPP) to customize a portion of a Perl script.
Since Perl code has a lot of dollar signs, I am using #literal()/#end to
prevent Velocity from processing most of the file. What I find is that
single '#' characters that are not followed by alpha text are removed
(inside #literal()/#end).
For example:
#literal()
#!/usr/bin/perl
#end
becomes:
!/usr/bin/perl
I've tried things like escaping the '#' ('\#') but that leaves the
backslash ('\#!/usr/bin/perl' becomes '\!/usr/bin/perl'). Nothing seems
to work.
I can use a #set to define a variable with the value '#!/usr/bin/perl',
but I was hoping I would not have to. It also doesn't help with other
single #'s in the file (like Perl comments). For those I have had to
double up the hashes.
Any suggestions (I'd be happy to try patching the Velocity source, but I
had trouble making heads or tails of the parser engine)?
Thanks
