Subject: Use of uninitialized values
The below came up after a reboot. The last line was repeated continuously until I killed it. Restarted just fine. Use of uninitialized value $first_line in chomp at /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/File/Tail/App.pm line 145. Use of uninitialized value $first_line in split at /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/File/Tail/App.pm line 148. Use of uninitialized value $logged_ident in string ne at /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/File/Tail/App.pm line 149. Use of uninitialized value $md5_len in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/File/Tail/App.pm line 167. Use of uninitialized value $md5_len in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/File/Tail/App.pm line 167.

Looks like this happens when the file specified by lastrun_file is 0 bytes.

It would be nice if File::Tail::App strictly validated everything read from lastrun_file.

Good thinking thanks, I’ll have to take a look. If you have a patch that’d be cool too 👍

The below simply checks if the file is zero bytes, and if so, kills it. if ( -z $lastrun_file ) { unlink $lastrun_file or die "Can't unlink empty lastrun_file '$lastrun_file': $!"; }
