Hi Michael,
@param is only intented to be used to pass parameters to Execute. Setting it directly might work or might not… If you want to share data inside a request use $epreq -> {test} = 1 ; The hash of $epreq is not used by Embperl itself, so you are free to use it and it exists exactly for the live time of one Apache request Gerald From: Michael Smith [mailto:smi...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, July 21, 2010 11:05 AM To: embperl@perl.apache.org Cc: Michael Stevens; cabell.demarcel...@dianomi.com; Michael Smith Subject: Re: @param seems to be shared between Execute calls My problem is slightly different - though possibly a manifestation of the same thing. I find that param isn't cleaned up between requests. I have two epl files: set.epl: [- $param[0]->{'test'} = 1 -] get.epl [+ Dumper(@param) +] I find that the data from set.epl turns up when I make a subsequent request for get.epl (in practice it's a bit more random than that if one is running multiple processes, so I make a few requests for set.epl and then a few for get.epl) This only seems to be relevant if I reference param in the epl file I am calling directly. If I reference it in epl files which are loaded in by Execute, then they do appear to get cleaned up.

I have not used Embperl much from within server scripts, but in my limited use there, I've never seen the cleanup code fire. I suspect each script is considered 'a request' for the purposes of the cleanup code (well, as far as docs are concerned. I don't know if the code actually fires on END.) -- Ed Grimm Identity Services From: Michael Stevens <michael.stev...@dianomi.com> To: embperl@perl.apache.org Cc: Michael Smith <michael.sm...@dianomi.com>, cabell.demarcel...@dianomi.com Date: 07/20/2010 10:12 AM Subject: @param seems to be shared between Execute calls Hi. We're seeing an odd bug where @param seems to be shared between Execute calls in the same process. The following code is a test case for this: #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use Embperl; my $output1; my $input = '[- $param[0]->{hello} = 42; -]'; Embperl::Execute({ inputfile => "blah", input => \$input, output => \$output1, }); my $output2; my $input2 = '[- use Data::Dumper; print Dumper(\...@param); -]'; Embperl::Execute({ inputfile => "blah", input => \$input2, output => \$output2 }); Which on my machine outputs: $VAR1 = [ { 'hello' => 42 } ]; Surely this shouldn't happen? -- Michael Stevens Dianomi Ltd 18 Buckingham Gate London SW1E 6LB Tel: 020 7802 5530 Fax: 020 7630 7356 www.dianomi.com The information in this message and any attachment is intended for the addressee and is confidential and may be subject to legal privilege.
