Subject: Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8/Net/Server.pm line 600.
When reverse_lookups is OFF, there is still a check of the peerhost in: return 0 if $prop->{'peerhost'} =~ /^$_$/ && defined $prop->{'reverse_lookups'}; Because $prop->{'peerhost'} =~ /^$_$/ preceeds $prop->{'reverse_lookups'}. In my case, $prop->{'peerhost'} is undef anyway, so the match will trigger the warning regardless of reverse_lookups currently. I suggest to change the line into: return 0 if defined($prop->{'reverse_lookups'}) && defined($prop->{peerhost}) && $prop->{'peerhost'} =~ /^$_$/; Attached patch changes both deny and allow.

+1. I just saw and was going to report this error today.

Thanks for that btw! I was looking to this issue (originating from the Debian bugreport http://bugs.debian.org/693320), and have a question: Would it make sense to do the same check for $peeraddr? Regards, Salvatore
