Hi,
The following template:
[% META
author = "Sean O'Halpin"
%]
Author: $template.author
comes out correctly as:
Author: Sean O'Halpin
but causes the warning:
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) at
c:/Perl/site/lib/Template/Document.pm line 241.
This is the patch I applied (where Document-org.pm is revision 2.11):
--- Document-org.pm Fri Jun 22 16:12:10 2001
+++ Document.pm Fri Jun 22 16:15:52 2001

my $x = $metadata->{ $_ };

"'$_' => '$x',\n";
} keys %$metadata);
You don't need to escape the single quote - the following cases run against
the modified Document.pm show this I think:
Template:
[% META
test0 = 'S�an O\'Halpin'
test1 = "S�an O\'Halpin"
test2 = "S�an O'Halpin"
test3 = 'S�an O\nHalpin'
test4 = "S�an O\nHalpin"
test5 = 'S�an O\Halpin'
test6 = 'S�an O\\Halpin'
test7 = "S�an O\\Halpin"
%]
$template.test0
$template.test1
$template.test2
$template.test3
$template.test4
$template.test5
$template.test6
$template.test7
Output:
S�an O'Halpin
S�an O'Halpin
S�an O'Halpin
S�an O\nHalpin
S�an O
Halpin
S�an O\Halpin
S�an O\\Halpin
S�an O\Halpin
Hope I'm being too pedantic about this - but I do like to be able to
use my name without programs choking (or in this case perhaps
hiccupping :) on it.
By the way, thanks Andy for such a fantastic piece of software!
HTH,
Sean O'Halpin
