| Subject: | NETRC environment variable is not honored in Net::Netrc |
| Date: | Thu, 29 Oct 2015 14:15:57 -0400 |
| To: | bug-libnet [...] rt.cpan.org |
| From: | Rich Snyder <richasny [...] sourcefire.com> |
In the GNU inetutils documentation, the NETRC environment variable exists to override which netrc file is used to obtain authentication credentials.
https://www.gnu.org/software/inetutils/manual/html_node/The-_002enetrc-file.html
This behavior is missing from Net::Netrc.pm, but is easily added to the module. I’ve prepared a patch using the latest libnet-3.07 as a base and have attached the original, the patched and a diff patch for your consideration for inclusion in an upcoming release of libnet.
Thank you for your time and consideration!
