  Wed Nov 24 21:59:02 2004 JMEHNLE [...] cpan.org - Ticket created
Subject: IO::InnerFile::seek() should return 1 on success
The method IO::InnerFile::seek() should return 1 on success, and 0 otherwise, as per `perldoc -f seek`. Some Perl modules, such as MIME::Parser 5.414+, rely on this and fail if seek() doesn't return a true value. See also the corresponding Debian bug report: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=280866

Hi! Thanks for reporting this. It looks like it's been fixed for quite some time, yet the ticket was still open. I'm taking care of that part now. Thanks again, Chase
