Subject:

$App::Daemon::pidfile problem

A show-stopper for me: With 0.09 everything works, but when I installed 0.11 my scripts which were formerly working produced an error: Use of uninitialized value $App::Daemon::pidfile in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0/App/Daemon.pm line 323, <DATA> line 290. Version 0.10 untested

Thanks for your report. The warning message you're getting seems to indicate that you're using App::Daemon's pid_file_write() function before running daemonize(), which I'm puzzled about how this could occur in normal operation. Can you provide code that reproduces the problem?

I just reproduced this bug for the first time migrating a daemon from an old server to a new one. It happens if you use the detach() function instead of daemonize(). Thanks. --Michele Il Dom 26 Set 2010 11:50:51, MSCHILLI ha scritto: Show quoted text

Great find, thanks! I've fixed the bug and added a test case: https://github.com/mschilli/app-daemon/commit/63564720546057c0d5e6acd2094426c4d75dceb1 and released 0.20 to CPAN.
