1st paragraph in Template Toolkit section |
My book is a First Edition printed in October 2002.
This is nitpicky but...
The second sentence mentions the FILTER tag twice, when it seems that it should
probably only be mentioned once.
AUTHOR: This is correct. FILTER should just be included in the list of "advanced
tags". However, this is not a serious technical mistake, it's a minor
language mistake.

The code:
You have <% $cd_count %> cd<% $cd_count != 1 ? 's': '' %>
is missing the period (.) after the final closing %> tag.

Last code example |
The first line of the <%perl> block should read:
my @words = $sentence =~ /(S+)/g;
The code in the book is missing the '$' sigil on the variable.

4th paragraph |
The second to last line of the example in paragraph 4:
esethat ordsway areyay inyay Igpay Atinlay.</pig>
should instead be:
esethay ordsway areyay inyay Igpay Atinlay.</pig>
to be an accurate translation. The word "these" is "esethay" in Pig Latin.
AUTHOR: Indeed, my pig latin was mistaken ;)

The name "view_user.mas" somehow got turned in one instance into "view_user.max", I
think somewhere in the editing process. It should be "view_user.mas" throughout this
section.

2nd paragraph |
"You should also remember that variables defined via an <%args> block are not visible
in a <%shared> block, meaning that the only access to arguments inside a shared block
is via the %ARGS hash or one of the request object methods such as request_args."
It's not true that you can access args via %ARGS in a shared block. You can only
access args via $m->request_args.

second line of example 5-3 (/autohandler) |
<& $m->call_next &>
should be:
% $m->call_next;
As written the example would attempt to call a component as specified by the return
value of $m->call_next, which probably isn't intended.

The code example show should be:

These substitution filters also recognize URLs in single quotes.
I think they're better than the fix proposed in the official errata.
s/(href=)(['"])([^2]+?)2/$1.$2.add_session_id($3).$2/eg; #'
s/(action=)(['"])([^2]+?)2/$1.$2.add_session_id($3).$2/eg; #

Last sentence on the page |
While you _could_ pass a request_class parameter to the Interp constructor, you
probably _should_ be passing it to the ApacheHandler constructor. Because of Mason's
"contained object" system, there's no need to create an Interp directly. The
ApacheHandler constructor will create one for you and pass it any relevant
parameters.
Creating an Interp object manually will cause problems if you don't also give it the
correct resolver_class parameter. ApacheHandler takes care of this for you.

There are two parameters listed with dashes in their name, "Mason-CodeCacheSize" and
"Mason-IgnoreWarningsExpr". These are both incorrect, neither should have a dash.

Beginning of text |
It should be mentioned here that current versions of Bricolage (as of 1.4.3) do not
yet work with Mason 1.1x, because of API changes in Mason between 1.05 and 1.10. The
book covers the Mason 1.1x API, so this might be a little confusing.
Hopefully a near-future verson of Bricolage will also support Mason 1.1x.
