Package: libconfig-general-perl
Version: 2.26-1
Severity: important
Hi there,
I use Config::General for a while on my Debian system (version 2.26) and
today I noticed a strange behabiour.
I call the configuration file using these lines:
--8<--
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Config::General;
use Data::Dumper;
my $conf = Config::General->new(
-ConfigFile => "tests.cf",
-InterPolateVars => 1,
);
my $c = {$conf->getall()};
print Dumper $c;
--8<--
My configuraton file:
--8<--
dir /path/to/some/files
<backends>
backend LDAP
dir $dir
<LDAP>
dir $dir
server host
login ldap_dn
password secret
base dc=somedomain,dc=tld
port ldap
uri ldap://$server
<options>
dir $dir
version 2
debug 0
</options>
</LDAP>
</backends>
<DNS>
base ou=dns,dc=somedomain,dc=tld
template $dir/dns/dns_zone.tpl
</DNS>
--8<--
This configuration fails with
"Use of uninitialized variable $dir"
If I put the <DNS> block before the <backends> one, it works fine.
Anyway the $dir variable is defined a a global variable, thus should be
used anywhere in the configuration file.
On the onther hand it seems that tom@daemon.de (upstream email) is not
valid anylonger (such as perl@daemon.de as specifyed on the CPAN page).
