Using Config::IniFiles version 2.38 on perl version 2.8.4.
System is Debian version 3.1 (Linux commbox2006 2.6.8-2-386 #1 Tue Aug 16
12:46:35 UTC 2005 i686 GNU/Linux)
When opening an empty ini file with Object Interface and using methods
Sections or GroupMembers, this gives error message back and program quits.
For GroupMembers method the error message is 'Can't call method
"GroupMembers" on an undefined value at test.pl line 7.'
For Sections method the error message is 'Can't call method "Sections" on
an undefined value at test.pl line 7.'
The file empty.ini do exist and program is able to read the content of
file.
I would think that they should return an empty array.

---- Start test script testing method GroupMembers ------
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use Config::IniFiles;
my $cfg = Config::IniFiles->new( -file => "empty.ini");
my @Groups = $cfg->GroupMembers("test");
foreach my $group (@Groups) {
print "$group\n";
}
print "END\n";
--- End test script for method GroupMembers -------
---- Start test script testing method Sections ------
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use Config::IniFiles;
my $cfg = Config::IniFiles->new( -file => "empty.ini");
my @Groups = $cfg->Sections();
foreach my $group (@Groups) {
print "$group\n";
}
print "END\n";
--- End test script for method Sections -------
Have also tested the same scripts on a different system:
Config::IniFiles version: 1.8
Perl version: 5.6.0
System: Redhat 7.0 (Linux commbox 2.2.20 #2 Tue Dec 18 17:12:27 CET 2001
i686 unknown)
Here it works as expected and returning an empty array.
