Subject: endless loop in Mail/Mbox/MessageParser/Perl.pm _read_rest_of_email()
The attached example does not return from the first invokation of read_next_email(). This is caused by an endless loop in Mail/Mbox/MessageParser/Perl.pm _read_rest_of_email() environment: perl-5.8.8-76.2 openSUSE 10.3 Linux 2.6.22.17-0.1-default #1 SMP 2008/02/10 20:01:04 UTC i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
Subject: loop_2emails.t
#!/usr/bin/perl -w use Mail::Mbox::MessageParser; my $mailbox = <<'EOF'; From a@example.com Thu Jul 05 08:29:17 2001 Subject: an example email from a@example.com a From a@example.com Thu Jul 05 08:43:16 2001 Subject: a a EOF my $file_name = 'testbox_2emails'; open FH, '>', $file_name or die "can't open $file_name: $!"; print FH $mailbox or die "can't write $file_name: $!"; close FH or die "can't close $file_name: $!"; my $folder_reader = new Mail::Mbox::MessageParser( { 'file_name' => $file_name, 'file_handle' => new FileHandle($file_name), 'enable_cache' => 0, 'enable_grep' => 0, } ); die $folder_reader unless ref $folder_reader; while(!$folder_reader->end_of_file()) { print "doing read_next_email() ...\n"; my $email = $folder_reader->read_next_email(); print "email content: $$email\n"; } print "reached end of while\n"; 1;
Will be fixed in versions > 1.5001. Thanks!
