Bug in cperl-mode.el - unexpanded CVS keyword

Greetings! I recently came upon the following bug. M-x perl-mode leads to the following backtrace: Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument integerp nil) substring("$Revision$" nil nil) (let ((v "$Revision$")) (string-match ":\\s *\\([0-9.]+\\)" v) (substring v (match-beginning 1) (match-end 1))) (defvar cperl-version (let (...) (string-match ":\\s *\\([0-9.]+\\)" v) (substring v ... ...)) "Version of IZ-supported CPerl package this file is based on.") load-internal("cperl-mode" nil nil nil undecided) load("cperl-mode" nil nil nil) command-execute(perl-mode t) execute-extended-command(nil) call-interactively(execute-extended-command) The reason for this error is that the following keyword is not expanded in cperl-mode.el: (defvar cperl-version (let ((v "$Revision$")) (string-match ":\\s *\\([0-9.]+\\)" v) (substring v (match-beginning 1) (match-end 1))) "Version of IZ-supported CPerl package this file is based on.") Replacing "$Revision$" with "$Revision: 6.2 $" makes this particular problem go away, but there are many occurrences of CVS keywords in the package sources and not all of them are in comments. What should we do about this? - Vin _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
