...It addresses all these problems. Very nice!

Thank you for your kind words. But I'm afraid there are still some issues involved ;-(

They alter your source's line numbers...

I've chosen a very simple, line by line algorithm, that will lend itself for rewriting in C if ever necessary. No lines should be removed or added, so line numbers should always be correct (although pod lines that are not activated, are replaced by empty lines). I'm contemplating emptying out lines that start with "#" also, but I'm afraid the additional check (in Perl) would cost more CPU than adding the whole line to the source again and having the Perl parser get rid of such a line (in C).

... These Perl "compilers" do not evaluate source filters at runtime...

Well, add mod_perl to that list. My nice little magic module doesn't do it in mod_perl. ;-( One of the reasons I started this in the first place. ;-(

Anyway, I have added an API for other modules that would allow them to have an arbitrary piece of code stored in a variable to be processed in the same manner. For instance

eval $source;
could become:
ifdef::process( $source ) if exists &ifdef::process; eval $source;

Now to find out what magic mod_perl is performing when it loads its Perl modules and convince the mod_perl people to add the above extra line... ;-)

Update:
Actually, I just realized the above could be done smarter:

=begin MODPERL ifdef::process( $source ); =cut eval $source;
Under mod_perl, the environment variable MODPERL is always defined and not null. If ifdef is active, then the extra processing line becomes active automatically, making sure the $source will also be processed. If ifdef is not loaded, then the pod section will be skipped, directly evalling the source.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
