Subject: Can't locate object method "seek" via package "File::Temp"
We are using MIME::Tools with Sympa mailing list software. The plateform is a RedHat Linux server release 5. After a security upgrade of the pcre (perl regular expressions engine) RPM, we've had fatal errors from Sympa while processing MIME messages. The error message was : "Can't locate object method "seek" via package "File::Temp" at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/MIME/Entity.pm line 1566." After a reinstallation of MIME::Tools, the problem is fixed. MIME::Tools is the only CPAN module (among 30 others) that was broken after the pcre update, though the pcre update was only a security update, not a new release.

I don't see how upgrading pcre could have caused this, because Perl doesn't use the pcre libraries. Perl uses its own regex engine, and PCRE implements a "Perl compatible" regular expression engine in a completely separate library. Show quoted text

What version of MIME::Tools were you using before, and what version did you reinstall? Cheers, Dave

Subject: Append to #31032: Can't locate object method "seek" via package "File::Temp"
Date: Fri, 29 Feb 2008 01:50:10 +0000
To: bug-MIME-tools [...] rt.cpan.org
From: Eric Hall <rt.cpan.org [...] darkart.com>
Please append to bug: #31032: Can't locate object method "seek" via package "File::Temp" With perl 5.8.8, the included File::Temp is version 0.16, insufficient for MIME::Tools 5.425, perhaps that's the problem report in bug #31032. As well, 'perl Makefile.PL' for MIME::Tools 5.425 exits with status 0 if File::Temp is at version 0.16. -eric

Oops. ->seek() didn't work until 0.17. Will fix required version in next release.
