Mailing List Archive: Example on using [- Execute -] to recursively call sub?

Hi!

I've only been using EmbPerl for a few days, and I could really use some
help...

I'm using HTML-Embperl-1.3b3 with mod_perl and Apache. I'm trying to write
some recursive code, but am having problems with the paramater passing. If
I call the routine with:

[- recursive_print ($id) -]

I have no problem. But if I call it with:

[- Execute ('#recursive_print', $id) -]
or
[- Execute ({sub => '#recursive_print', param => $id }) -]

(and even more different types I've tried)

I keep getting:

HTML::Embprl::Req=SCALAR(0x84fc990)

or something similar.

Help! Desparately need to get this project done, and recursive code is
really the only way to do this.

Thanks!

If you give the param parameter you must pass an array ref, like:

[- Execute ({sub => '#recursive_print', param => [ $id ] }) -]

If you call your sub via Execute, params are passed via the array @param. So
your $id is passed in $param[0].
