Bug #20311 for Net-IMAP-Simple: SELECT errors are ignored

Wed Jul 05 19:46:16 2006 Guest - Ticket created

Subject:

SELECT errors are ignored

In the README, it says that if select() fails, undef is returned. However, it is not. If an IMAP response such as 59 NO Can't open .xauth/refcount: not a selectable mailbox is received, select returns a value of 1 (possibly cached or left from a previously successful operation.) errstr, if read, contains "SELECT failed: ..."

I believe this is solved and proved by test in 1.1899_01 (available on github only). -- If riding in an airplane is flying, then riding in a boat is swimming. 107 jumps, 43.5 minutes of freefall, 83.4 freefall miles.
