[Petal] Re: petal:define question

[Corey]

Ok, well of course 20 minutes after sending out my question, I found the
answer to my own question. I need to 'fresh' it:

span petal:define="foobar string:GOOBER" />
<p petal:content="foobar" />
<p petal:content="fresh vcc/echo foobar" />

<p>---</p>

<span petal:define="foobar string:BLAH" />
<p petal:content="foobar" />
<p petal:content="fresh vcc/echo foobar" />


...works like charm.

I somehow missed that even after reading the Petal perldoc
many times. ugh.

Sorry for the noise.

Cheers,

Corey
