Hi:
While upgrading this package for Debian, I came across some build
issues. They are seen in PASSing CPAN reports -- for example,
http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/2009/07/msg4826903.html
It's this warning:
Use of uninitialized value $address in pattern match (m//) at
/mnt/i386/var/tmp/CPAN-build/POE-Component-Client-DNS-1.04-gEJk4n/blib/lib/POE/Component/Client/DNS.pm
line 514, <HOST> line 32.
(You might want to consider using Test::NoWarnings in the future so you
get a FAIL instead)
Anyway, I have patched this in the Debian package using:
--- a/DNS.pm
+++ b/DNS.pm
@@ -511,6 +511,7 @@
s/^\s*//;
chomp;
my ($address, @aliases) = split;
+ next unless defined $address;
my $type = ($address =~ /:/) ? "AAAA" : "A";
foreach my $alias (@aliases) {
$cached_hosts{$alias}{$type}{$address} = 1;
And the warnings are gone.
Cheers,
Jonathan
