Last Change By: GeorgeClark

Attempting to create a new extension.

/create_new_extension.pl MyNewPlugin
Global symbol "$NOP" requires explicit package name at ./create_new_extension.pl line 192.
Execution of ./create_new_extension.pl aborted due to compilation errors.

Issue is an unescaped $ in a regular expression.

    $content =~ s/%$NOP%//g;
should be
    $content =~ s/%\$NOP%//g;

Fixed as part of Item2018: parenting - closing this report.
