Subject: warnings produced when tables=>1 and paras=>1
Hi, I use HTML::FromText v2.05 under perl v5.8.4 (built for i386-linux-thread-multi) on a Debian Sarge box as part of Apache::MiniWiki under mod_perl and always run with warnings on. I get masses of warnings in the server logs originating from the table formatting code in HTML::FromText. I produced a minimal test case (attached) which is typical of the data we get. It produces a number of warnings when tables=>1 and paras=>1 (see attached) which is how it is used within Apache::MiniWiki. I'm sorry I can't fix it myself - I wouldn't know where to start! Regards, Michael Erskine Nottingham Perl Mongers group leader.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; # Get picky... use diagnostics -verbose; # Die upon warn - comment out this line to show further wornings... local $SIG{__WARN__} = sub { die $_[0] }; # Hot file handles... select( ( select(STDERR), $| = 1 )[0] ); select( ( select(STDOUT), $| = 1 )[0] ); # Our subject... use HTML::FromText; =for docs Note the pair of newlines after the title and the space after 'This' =cut my $t2 = <<'EOF'; Title This is a minimal test case for the warning.
