Folks,

Just did a redhat 8.0 reinstall on my development laptop, which includes me pulling new stuff of CPAN. Anyhow, I discovered an error in CGI's endform() method in version 2.90. I've notified the author, but I thought the rest of you might like to know:

1624 #### Method: endform
1625 # End a form
1626 'endform' => <<'END_OF_FUNC',
1627 sub endform {
1628     my($self,@p) = self_or_default(@_);    
1629     if ( $NOSTICKY ) {
1630     return wantarray ? ("</form>") : "\n</form>";
1631     } else {
1632     return wantarray ? (("<div>",$self->get_fields,"</div>","</fo
+rm>") : 
1633                         "<div>".$self->get_fields ."</div>\n</for
+m>";
1634     }
1635 }
1636 END_OF_FUNC

Line 1632 has an extra "(" in it. Take it out and you'll be good to go.

-Any sufficiently advanced technology is
indistinguishable from doubletalk.
