Subject: make test fails
HTML-FromText-2.05 perl 5.005_03 Linux kernel 2.2.17 (custom built) *~/work/HTML-FromText-2.05> perl -c lib/HTML/FromText.pm syntax error at lib/HTML/FromText.pm line 285, near "$_ foreach " lib/HTML/FromText.pm had compilation errors. I spent about 30 minutes on this trying to see what the heck was wrong, tried different structures. Even with the loop changed to for my $d ( @DECORATORS ) { $options->{$d} and $self->$d } I got the same error: *~/work/HTML-FromText-2.05> perl -c lib/HTML/FromText.pm syntax error at lib/HTML/FromText.pm line 287, near "$d }" lib/HTML/FromText.pm had compilation errors. Because this is an older version of perl, I wonder if it's a problem with syntax changes, but I don't see how.

It was Thursday, July 15, 2004 when Guest via RT took the soap box, saying: : : This message about HTML-FromText was sent to you by guest <> via rt.cpan.org : : Full context and any attached attachments can be found at: : <URL: https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=6976 > : : HTML-FromText-2.05 : perl 5.005_03 : Linux kernel 2.2.17 (custom built) : : *~/work/HTML-FromText-2.05> perl -c lib/HTML/FromText.pm : syntax error at lib/HTML/FromText.pm line 285, near "$_ foreach " : lib/HTML/FromText.pm had compilation errors. : Can't call method "signature" on an undefined value at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/Text/Autoformat.pm line 779. : I spent about 30 minutes on this trying to see what the heck was wrong, tried different structures.

Try replacing $self->$d with $self->$d(); Just a hunch. If it works out I'll get it in the next release. Thanks! Casey West -- I am a superhero.

If you add parens to the $_ it will work in earlier versions of perl: 285: $options->{$_} and $self->$_() foreach @DECORATORS; Alan Show quoted text
