[Templates] PATCH: Template::Plugin::CGI

[prev] [thread] [next] [Date index for 2004/10/19]

We had a discussion a while back on how to make CGI.div work, which
ended up with the nasty construct:

  CGI.${"div"}("Foo")

I came across this problem again today, and didn't really want to foist
this on cow-orkers, so I made a simple patch: to Template::Plugin::CGI.
Any chance of having something like this applied?

Thanks,

Tony
