Hi, Further to my original problem (occasionally having problems parsing a template file with mod_perl), I've narrowed down the problem to what appears to be a bug in Perl's pattern matching. Printing the contents of the $chunk variable shows it's perfectly valid, whereas the $which variable (assigned directly from $1 of the pattern match) contains gibberish - but interesting exactly the same gibberish every time.
Does anybody know if this is a known Perl bug? Also, I'm wondering if the large pattern match to look for tags is causing problems - I can imagine if anything is going to tickle bugs in Perl's RE engine, it's going to be a very long pattern. Is there any reason this wasn't done as a set of separate matches? I'm tempted to split it up to see if it solves (or at least works around) the problem, but I was wondering if there's some reason why this wouldn't be a good idea. In case it helps I'm using: Apache: 2.0.40 mod_perl: 1.99.05 (I'm not quite sure about the minor number, got it from the RPM name) Perl: 5.8.0 Cheers, - Andy ******************Legal Disclaimer************************** "This email may contain confidential and privileged material for the sole use of the intended recipient.
