Ok let me elaborate and correct my first case:

[$ foreach $i @someArray $]
<tr[$ if ($ctr%2 == 0) $] BGCOLOR="#cccccc"[$ endif $]>
<td>...</td>
</tr>
[- $ctr++ -]
[$ endforeach $]

So the html (that should be produced) is fine. However, Embperl dies
with the error: </tr> without <tr>

Definitely, Embperl doesn't like absence of space at: <tr[.$
-because that is the only difference. Put a space before [$ and it
works.

The problem is that if the if is true you get

<trBGCOLOR="#cccccc">

and trBGCOLOR isn't a know HTML tag. So either a space before or after the
if is required.

No, the first case does have a space before BGCOLOR... I just emailed
the wrong thing.... please see my follow-up email from yesterday. Thank
you.

Yes, you are right, I was a little bit to fast with typing my answer...
(sometimes it better to think first ;-)

The Embperl parser requires a space after an html tag name or a closing >.
