Bug Information
Severity: Unimportant
Broken in: 2.38
Fixed in: (no value)



Subject: Does not handle opening empty ini files very gracefully.
Just a quick note to inform you that $Config::IniFiles::VERSION = (qw($Revision: 2.38 $)) does not handle opening empty ini files very gracefully. This results in a couple of uninitialized value warnings instead of a clean error condition. This is not a severe problem, just something I thought you would like to be aware of.

The attached diff resolves this issue which I was annoyed with recently.

Resolving as OLD because I can no longer find that code.
