The problem is that wml::sys::bootp2 is no more shipped with WML.
Unfortunately, it will be loaded by wml if it exists.

So you have to remove this file.

This bug will be fixed in next release, wml will only load
wml::sys::bootp3 and wml::sys::bootp4.

???
If ePerl complains, this means that <aspemail> is used within some ePerl
commands. Could you send a more complete example?

Oops, one should read
      <define-tag foo>Arg1:%1 Attrs:%attributes!!</define-tag>
      <foo "x <foo "1" "2">" y>
which gives sense to this comparison with Meta-HTML.

Thanks for your report.
