Oh right, I didn't realise that.

The only reason I'm using Embperl subroutines is that I want to import a bunch of 
common routines, like so:

  Execute ({ inputfile => 'share.epl', import => 1 });

However this didn't import perl subroutines, so I switched over to Embperl subroutines 
instead.

Is there a better solution?


Best wishes, James

Hi,

That's true. I think I should fix it and make behave it like in Perl.

BTW. 1.3.4 isn't able to return values from subs at all (only as parametrer
per reference) and when I designed 2.0 I wanted to change this, but didn't
have done any test on it so far. So it more suprising that it works at all
:-)

I put it on the TODO list, so we get correctly working return args for the
next release
