In version 1.3.4 of Embperl, along with mod_perl, we used "exit" to create
embperl pages that could conditionally halt their execution. Often we would
use a series of nested pages that each contained a conditional "exit"
statement, so that an inner executed page could halt its execution, and
right before the exit would set a global variable, indicating to the parent
page that it should exit also.
In Embperl 2.0b7 this functionality breaks, since if a parent and child page
both include an "exit" statement, the outer "exit" statement fails for some
reason, and variables that may have been shared between the two pages seem
to be corrupted as well. I get the same results if I try "Apache::exit" .
example hello.phtml (phtml is the extension we use to map in mod_perl):
hello world !<BR>
[-Execute({inputfile=>'bye.phtml',package=>__PACKAGE__});-]
executed bye, testvar is '[+ $testvar +]'<BR>
[- exit;-]
hello below the exit<BR>
testvar is '[+ $testvar +]'<BR>
example bye.phtml:
bye world !<BR>
[- $testvar = "this is testvar";
exit;
-]
bye below the exit<BR>
if either or both of the "exits" are commented out, the script acts as
expected. with both of them in place, the script produces:
hello world !
bye world !
executed bye, testvar is 'this is testvar'
hello below the exit
testvar is '<[+>$testvar '
Where you can see that the second "exit" did not take place, and also the
value of $testvar was corrupted. This methodolgy worked fine in the 1.3.4
version of Embperl (which is on a production website).
