Bug #92602 for Net-Whois-IP: DO_DEBUG writes to a shared file - breaks for multiple users

Greetings, The DO_DEBUG function writes to $tmp_dir . "/Net.WhoisIP.log" (and warns when it is unagble to open that file. DO_DEBUG is called unconditionally throughout the module. This leads to a conflict: * multiple users are trying to write to the same file * on most systems the default permissions of the file mean that every user after the first user will see a "Unable to open /tmp/Net.WhoisIP.log" warning (because the file already exists and is not world writable) * If the file is set to be world writable there is now a conflict when multiple users write to the same file. Suggested fixes: * make DO_DEBUG do nothing by default unless a debug flag is turned on * either chmod the file to be world writeable or name the file to be user-specific. In this case it would be a good idea to chmod the file to only allow read and write from the creating user account (to improve module security) Cheerio, Brad -- Bradley Dean Email: bjdean@bjdean.id.au Skype: skype@bjdean.id.au Mobile(Aus): +61-413014395 WWW: http://bjdean.id.au/
