Bug #62486 for Net-IMAP-Simple: Use of uninitialized value

Wed Oct 27 10:18:42 2010 marcos.marado [...] optimus.pt - Ticket created

Subject:	Use of uninitialized value
Date:	Wed, 27 Oct 2010 15:19:23 +0100

From:	Marcos Marado <marcos.marado [...] optimus.pt>

Hi there, Two similar servers with similar setup, one of them is fine and the other is not. The only visible difference: Net::IMAP::Simple 's version. With 1.14 I don't have any problem, while in 1.2017 I have an error.log full of: Use of uninitialized value in length at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/Net/IMAP/Simple.pm line 1050, <GEN206> line 160. I am still not sure (only applied this change *now*), but I'm guessing that reverting this patch is enough to solve this issue (even if you get back with not being able to deal with misbehaving servers): http://github.com/jettero/net--imap--simple/commit/44f616ee3b89483fbdcacd65d98b84ee1f950d79 -- Marcos Marado Optimus IT - www.optimus.pt Edifício Sonaecom Av.

I don't think the solution is reverting the patch, since I put that in to fix something... I think the solution is to disable warnings and/or grep out undefined lines. That later is my first choice... I'm patching for that presently. -Paul -- If riding in an airplane is flying, then riding in a boat is swimming. 116 jumps, 48.6 minutes of freefall, 92.9 freefall miles.

I also don't understand why you think that commit is the culprit. It looks to me like $sock->getline is returning () or (@blarg, undef) or something like that. -- If riding in an airplane is flying, then riding in a boat is swimming. 116 jumps, 48.6 minutes of freefall, 92.9 freefall miles.

I believe we fixed this, but I never closed the ticket. Please confirm? (this seems to be the commit: http://goo.gl/lJVy) -- If riding in an airplane is flying, then riding in a boat is swimming. 116 jumps, 48.6 minutes of freefall, 92.9 freefall miles.

The notes indicate it's solved. I'm going to close the ticket. -- If riding in an airplane is flying, then riding in a boat is swimming. 116 jumps, 48.6 minutes of freefall, 92.9 freefall miles.
