Summary

The list.import() vmethod returns the list reference to support chaining (.import().join()), but when used standalone this leaks ARRAY(0x...) into template output. The VMethods.pod documentation showed standalone usage without the CALL directive, which produced the reported bug output.

Updated the standalone example to use CALL one.import(two, three) and added explanatory text about why CALL is needed when not chaining. Added tests for standalone CALL usage patterns.

Closes #134

Changes

  • Updated lib/Template/Manual/VMethods.pod standalone import example to use CALL directive
  • Added documentation explaining that import returns the list reference for chaining
  • Added two test cases for standalone CALL import usage in t/vmethods/list.t

Test plan

  • New tests verify CALL one.import(two) and CALL one.import(two, three) produce clean output
  • Existing chaining tests continue to pass
  • Full test suite passes (3191 tests, 0 failures)
