2nd paragraph, demonstrating 'dir' method |
The 'dir' method example incorrectly reuses the 'name' method from the previous
example, rather than itself. E.g.:
[% file.name %]
when it should be:
[% file.dir %]

Sample code for Template::Plugin::Filter |
The example code as shown does not work.
The first line in the filter subroutine:
sub filter {
my $text = shift;
should be corrected to:
sub filter {
my ($self, $text) = @_;

Example 11-44 |
I am almost certain that there is an error with config/expand on page 428 of the
book.
The section of the code
IF item.here;
page.prev = map.page.${loop.last};
page.next = map.page.${loop.next};
END
page.prev was appearing undefined when I was working on the Previous and Next
navigation in example 11-54.
When I changed the page.prev line to
page.prev = map.page.${loop.prev}; the code behaved as expected.
Am I right in thinking that the example in the book would only have page.prev set as
true if the iterator is currently on the last iteration of the set?

last paragraph (last line before footnote) |
$param =~ s/*/\%/g; # change '*' to '%'
is not correct. The naked asterisk in the regex means "0 or more characters."
However, your intention (as stated by the comment, in fact) is to change actual
asterisks in the string value to percent characters. Therefore, the asterisk must be
escaped. So this line should be as follows:
$param =~ s/*/\%/g; # change '*' to '%'
