I've been using the custom answer evaluating function almost verbatum from the example in the docs. (Specifically, the answer contains case insensitive substring from the mozart examples). This seems not to work with the spring release version of Webworks.

Obvious mistake of not having the DOCUMENT(); call first has been fized, but even with a direct cut and paste of the sample evaluating function, I get:

ERROR caught by PGtranslator while processing problem file:mset0/mprob2.pg
*
syntax error at (eval 38) line 37, at EOF

and 

29		$testAnswer = sub {
30			my $in = @_;  # get the answer from the student
31			my $correctQ; # variable will be set to 1 if the answer is
32				# correct.
33			my $PGanswerMessage ="" # message to be printed on screen
34			if ($in =~ /Mozart/) {
35				# if the string "Mozart" appears in the answer
36				$correctQ =1;
37				}
38			else {
39				$correctQ = 0;
40				}
41			($correctQ, "Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart", $in, $PGanswerMessage);
42			};
43		ANS($testAnswer);

Any clues would be greatly appreciated!
