Hi Thomas,

these tags are expanded during pass 2, and ePerl is run in pass 3 so it
won't work. Furthermore lang slices are processed during the last pass.
So if you want to include these files with ePerl, you have to make these
tags understandable by wml_p9_slice, try something like:

 	while (<DESCFILE>) {
 			s#<[eE][nN]>#\[LANG_EN:#g;
 			s#</[eE][nN]>#:LANG_EN\]#g;
 			s#<[dD][eE]>#\[LANG_DE:#g;
 			s#</[dD][eE]>#:LANG_DE\]#g;
 			print;
 	}
