[Pas-dev] compiler bug

[Kyle R . B. <mo...@vo...>]

The following PSP code:

  <%
    my $aplicaitonName = $self->config->get('com.yoyodine.app.name');
  %>
  Regards,
  <%= $applicationName %> Support Team
  Yoyodine, Inc.

Resulted in the following code in the generated Page object:

  #line X mail.psp
  $self->response->print( $applicationName );
  #line X mail.psp
  $self->response->print( q{ Support TeamYoyodine, Inc.
});


Which is patently wrong.  The newline between 'Team' and 'Yoyodine'
silently went away.  In standard HTML where tags often delimit content
it might often go unnoticed.  I certinly haven't noticed this bug 
until now (in a plain text email, all the whitespace is importaint).

The bug manifests itself when a line in a PSP file starts with an
expression (<%= %>) tag with two lines of content following it.
If you put so little as a single space in front of the expression
tags, everything is ok.

At some point in the near future we'll need to fix this...
