Embperl tries to remove "unnecessary" spaces from the output after embedded code. Most time that is what you want, because otherwise you end up with lot of space and newlines in your output. You can avoid this behaviour by setting the value for optKeepSpaces in EMBPERL_OPTIONS. Also you can redefine the "if" or your own "if". Look at Embperl/Syntax/EmbperlBlocks.pm in the definitions there is an attribute called removenode. If your write 8 instead of 10, it will not remove the space form the output.
