Bug #11220 for Mail-IMAPClient: Problem with LastError ($@)

Hello, I am using Mail::IMAPClient 2.2.9 with ActiveState perl 5.8.3 on Windows 2000. Apparently, Windows does not implement fast_io and every operation results in $@ = "Your vendor has not defined Fcntl macro F_GETFL, used at D:/Perl/site/lib/Mail/I MAPClient.pm line 69." According to the docs, a search will clear $@ (and it does), but the ensuing function calls sets it back to the above message so I can not distinguish between a failed search and a successful search that yielded 0 results. I can work around this by explicitly turning off fast_io. I am reporting this because your documents mention the possibility of removing this feature. If you do remove the fast_io option, I would suggest improving the _do_accessor() call such that if fast_io fails (and is benign) that $@ not be set. If not a bug, than consider it a feature enhancement request. Thanks.
