I haven't moved to EmbPerl 2 yet, but I've been keeping an eye on its issues, as I would like to do so with as little pain as possible. > I have an .epl, subs.epl, which renders fine.

Apparently, the intention of [+ +] blocks is simple output; there were some issues that were complicated by having complex statements, so complex statements were disabled. If you want to have a complex statement, put it in a perl subroutine.
