I think I have found what makes the problem happen. It occurs in a .epl subroutine file where I have 'use strict' at the start, and then within a [! !] block, there is a perl sub where I introduce a variable without using 'my', e.g.

[!
use strict;
sub test
{
   $x = 1;
}
!]

The problem does not manifest if I do the same thing in an index.html within a [- -] block, i.e.

[-
use strict;
$x = 1;
-]

... in that case, I get a more helpful error message:

[32570]ERR: 24: Error in Perl code: Global symbol "$x" requires explicit package name at /www-dev/vhosts/crazyguyonabike.com/htdocs/test/index.html line 3.

I'm not sure if there are other factors in the way my codebase is constructed which contribute to this error not getting reported correctly. Before I dig too much more deeply, does the above give you enough clues to try reproducing on your end, Gerald?

Thanks again for your help,

Neil

Does make test (without any options) succeed?

Subject: Compilation error

I am still getting this problem with the latest version of Embperl (2.5). This 
is
on Debian Wheezy (testing), Perl 5.14. I have made a number of changes in
my code, and when I try to access my development website I just get this:

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable
to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, n...@nilspace.com and inform them
of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may
have caused the error.

[17349]ERR: 24: Error in Perl code: Compilation error

Apache Embperl 2.5.0_2 [Fri Oct 12 16:34:56 2012]

This is obviously really unhelpful and makes it impossible to even begin to
find out where the error is. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Neil
