Bug #93945 for perl-ldap: Net/LDAP/Util.pm

Mon Mar 17 12:53:22 2014 soros [...] multip.hu - Ticket created

Subject:	Net/LDAP/Util.pm

Dear Norbert! I received this error message below in Net/LDAP/Util.pm -------------------- Use of uninitialized value $dec in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/local/share/perl/5.14.2/Net/LDAP/Util.pm line 756 (#1) (W uninitialized) An undefined value was used as if it were already defined. It was interpreted as a "" or a 0, but maybe it was a mistake. To suppress this warning assign a defined value to your variables. To help you figure out what was undefined, perl will try to tell you the name of the variable (if any) that was undefined. In some cases it cannot do this, so it also tells you what operation you used the undefined value in. Note, however, that perl optimizes your program and the operation displayed in the warning may not necessarily appear literally in your program. For example, "that $foo" is usually optimized into "that " . $foo, and the warning will refer to the concatenation (.) operator, even though there is no . in your program. --------------------------- Suggested change: if(defined $dec) { $dec = "0.$dec"; # original } else { $dec = "0"; } Thanks in advance: Joseph -- Sörös József E-Mail: soros.jozsef@multip.hu Mobil: +36309403985

Thanks for the bug report. I added a similar patch that will be included in the next version of perl-ldap, which I hope to be able to release in the next weeks. One question though: Who is this Norbert you are addressing in the bug report ;-) Best regards Peter
