Bug #17815 for Mail-SPF-Query: Fails on Perl 5.6 due to use of \p{} named properties

Wed Feb 22 23:04:49 2006 Guest - Ticket created

Subject:

Possible bug in Mail-SPF-Query.

I installed Mail-SPF-1.999 on Perl 5.6.1/Solaris 8. Failed multiple tests during "make test". (see attachment 1). Installed module anyway but error messages are displayed when module is used. (See attachment 2). I believe all prerequites were installed, according to the module documentation: Perl 5.6.1 Sys::Hostname::Long 1.4 Net::DNS 0.55 Net::CIDR::Lite 0.20 URI::Escape 3.28 Unfortunately, I don't know Perl well enough to suggest a fix. Could this be related to Unicode implementation in Perl 5.6.1?

There is no Mail::SPF 1.999. There is only Mail::SPF::Query 1.999, and there is Mail::SPF 2.0, which is not yet ready for production use. Show quoted text

mail-spf-test-1.log seems to be about Mail::SPF, not Mail::SPF::Query. I'll ignore that log for now. Show quoted text

Yes, it seems the problem is related to Perl 5.6.1's Unicode support. If I add a "use utf8;" statement in lib/Mail/SPF/Query.pm right below the "use 5.006;" statement, I can successfully `make test`. Can you try and see if that works for you, or do you still get errors with that inserted? (I.e. freshly unpack the tarball, add "use utf8;" to Query. pm, then `perl Makefile.pm` and `make test`.)
