Package: libconfigfile-perl
Version: 1.2.1
Severity: normal
Without bad intention I had created a malformed config file - missing
equal sign -, and then I found libconfigfile-perl cannot deal with it
very well. While I do not expect that an input error results in any data
from that line, it should not create a huge amount of warnings by perl
itself.
In other words:
--- testit.pl ---
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use ConfigFile qw(read_config_file);
use strict;
my $config = 'config';
open (OUTFILE, ">$config") || die ("$!");
print OUTFILE "foo bar\n";
# correct was: "foo = bar"
close (OUTFILE);
my $config_hash = read_config_file ($config);
-----------------
results in:
| Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at
/usr/share/perl5/ConfigFile.pm line 34, <CONF> line 1.
| Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at
/usr/share/perl5/ConfigFile.pm line 35, <CONF> line 1.
| Invalid characters in key - Ignoring at /usr/share/perl5/ConfigFile.pm line
35, <CONF> line 1.
I'd also be glad if the actual message from read_config_file in the
third line could be turned off or redirected to the caller by an
options.
