Bug #5848 for Config-General: SaveConfig uninitialized value in concatenation

Wed Mar 31 04:12:49 2004 Guest - Ticket created

Subject:

SaveConfig uninitialized value in concatenation

The error I am expierencing seems to come down to: Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/Config/General.pm line 970. The attached bug.pl file + config file pollhosts.cfg should reproduce the bug. I am a afraid that I didn't manage to write a patch for this. perl version: This is perl, v5.8.0 built for i386-linux-thread-multi (with 1 registered patch, see perl -V for more detail) OS version: Red Hat Linux release 9 (Shrike) uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 2.4.20-8 #1 Thu Mar 13 17:54:28 EST 2003 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

What seems to be the problem is that a configuration like: <example.com> </example.com> triggers the error. The quick work around is using: example.com instead. Though this workaround works, it would be nice to have the first notation work as well.
