The Petal docs say this: You cannot write nested expressions such as: ${my_var/hello_world ${my_var/current_user}} This will NOT work. At least, not yet. So I guess that means you can't :-P -- Bruno From bruno at mkdoc.com Thu Jun 23 11:47:18 2005 From: bruno at mkdoc.com (Bruno Postle) Date: Thu Jun 23 11:47:23 2005 Subject: [Petal] pod documentation fixes In-Reply-To: <001101c55436$93a4deb0$0301a8c0@ishmael> <20050505204637.GK776@knowmad.com> References: <001101c55436$93a4deb0$0301a8c0@ishmael> <20050505204637.GK776@knowmad.com> Message-ID: <20050623104717.GC19073@webarchitects.co.uk> On Thu 05-May-2005 at 16:46 -0400, William McKee wrote: > > Finally, there are a couple typos in the macros section of the POD.

Just to clarify, I have a "request-broker" perl cgi that retrieves all the parameters passed from a petal page, and processes the resulting petal page.

I think I know what the problem is. It is not petal but the apache mod_rewrite that does not handle the post request correctly. I will see if I can find a solution to that.
