Consider this the first, then! http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=38013 [...] I've just built HTML-Template-Pro-0.70 fine on my OSX 10.4 box, 1st go even. MJR, This may well be an issue with your specific system alone?,

I don't see why. The then-current H:T:P built fine for me too on the same system under 10.4, but fails under 10.5. The maintainer hasn't yet suggested that it's a local configuration error and it's hard to see how it could be - I've changed very few settings. It might be a problem with fink or perl on 10.5, but I probably won't be the only user of those versions.

See the Known Problems section of the perlmacos perldoc:

If you have installed extra libraries such as GDBM through Fink (in other words, you have libraries under /sw/lib), or libdlcompat to / usr/local/lib, you may need to be extra careful when running Configure to not to confuse Configure and Perl about which libraries to use.

Sounds like a likely vector.

I think we do need to properly prove that H:T:P's ELSIF's are buggy before we remove them, as they make the template logic a lot saner

IF ... ELSIF ... /IF isn't much saner than IF ... ELSE IF ... /IF /IF

It is saner. And as you increase the depth, it is exceedingly saner.

<!-- TMPL_IF NAME="var1" --> <!-- TMPL_ELSE --> <!-- TMPL_IF NAME="var2" --> <!-- TMPL_ELSE --> <!-- TMPL_IF NAME="var3" --> <!-- TMPL_ELSE --> <!-- TMPL_IF NAME="var4" --> <!-- /TMPL_IF --> <!-- /TMPL_IF --> <!-- /TMPL_IF --> <!-- /TMPL_IF -->

vs.

<!-- TMPL_IF NAME="var1" --> <!-- TMPL_ELSIF NAME="var2" --> <!-- TMPL_ELSIF NAME="var3" --> <!-- TMPL_ELSIF NAME="var4" --> <!-- /TMPL_IF -->

Hi Guys, Yeah, its those examples that make my eyes water too!! ;) Ok so we are at a bit of a stalemate for now... I'm gonna ping walter@katipo and see if he can compile H:T:P on his OSX-10.5 boxes MJR: can you replicate it easily on another 10.5 box? PS: they (read: OSX boxes) can be tricky to set up LAMP/WAMP? stuff on for new admins, I got veeeery close to getting a koha3 running on my OSX after a few weeks of futzing (Ryan says it can be done ;), but gave into a deb VM instead. On a final note, I think some of the newer features in H:T:P are (when proven stable) going to really help bring the templates to a level of cleanliness and readability that most of the other areas of code are now looking (thanks everyone) Anyone else on the list have a 10.5 box to have a go at this? $ cpan HTML::Template::Pro Mason.
