[Templates] Oddness when using PERL directive

Hi,

I use TT2 to build my articles with CPAN module reviews. For each module I write one or more scripts which illustrate use of the module. A marked extract of the script is included into the article, followed by output, which is generated using the PERL block. Here's an example:

<pre>[% INCLUDE 'constant-generate-dualvar.pl' | extract_code %]</pre>

<p>Which produces the output:</p>

<pre>[% PERL %][% INCLUDE 'constant-generate-dualvar.pl' %][% END %]</pre>

For the module Constant::Generate I have a number of scripts, which worked fine until I hit one for the dualvar interface, used in the example above. Here's the script:

#!/usr/local/bin/perl

use warnings;
use strict;
my $value;

# START CODE
use Constant::Generate [qw(COFFEE TEA HOTCHOC)], stringy_vars => 1;
$value = TEA;
printf "value(int) = %d\n", $value;
printf "value(str) = %s\n", $value;
# END CODE

I can run this fine on the command-line:

% ./constant-generate-dualvar.pl
value(int) = 1
value(str) = TEA

But TT doesn't like it, and I end up with blank output. Am I missing something here? I've extracted the relevant code from my processor, which is attached.

If not, any suggestions for how I can work out what's happening? Turning on debug doesn't help me any, and I can't see any bugs listed in RT which would explain this behaviour.

cheers,

Neil
