Noisy output

Some noise gets wrtten to STDERR when running simple address retrievals. The results of the function are correct. perl -e 'use Net::Address::Ethernet; print Data::Dumper::Dumper(Net::Address::Ethernet->get_addresses())'; Running on FreeBSD 9.1. STDERR OUTPUT ============= usage: arp [-n] [-i interface] hostname arp [-n] [-i interface] -a arp -d hostname [pub] arp -d [-i interface] -a arp -s hostname ether_addr [temp] [reject | blackhole] [pub [only]] arp -S hostname ether_addr [temp] [reject | blackhole] [pub [only]] arp -f filename Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.14.2/Net/Address/Ethernet.pm line 153. usage: arp [-n] [-i interface] hostname arp [-n] [-i interface] -a arp -d hostname [pub] arp -d [-i interface] -a arp -s hostname ether_addr [temp] [reject | blackhole] [pub [only]] arp -S hostname ether_addr [temp] [reject | blackhole] [pub [only]] arp -f filename

Thanks for the report. I don't have a FreeBSD system for testing, can you run an additional test for me? First, set environment variable N_A_E_DEBUG to any non-zero value, and run whatever you ran to get those warnings. Thank you. If your IP and/or MAC address appears in the output, feel free to change it before sending me. - - Martin

Thanks again Rod. If this attachment goes through, see if the new distro works without spewing the extraneous warnings & messages - - Martin

This one is better. Note that the permissions of the extracted Net-Address-Ethernet-1.116 directory were 000. I don't know if this matters a whole lot or not but I found it unusual.

Yes it is unusual... I just got a new computer, I think the permissions got "screwed up" when I restored all my data. I think I fixed it, thanks again. - - Martin
