Package: libnet-imap-simple-perl
Version: 1.17-3
Severity: important
Tags: patch
The following example program (when supplied with correct IMAP servername
and username/password combination) returns an empty "$messages" variable
when run against an IMAP server. Variable $messages should contain the
number of messages on the server, but it doesn't:
$ cat imap.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Net::IMAP::Simple;
my $imap = Net::IMAP::Simple->new('imapserver.example.org') ||
die "Unable to connect to IMAP: $Net::IMAP::Simple::errstr\n";
if(!$imap->login('correct-username','correct-password')){
print STDERR "Login failed: " . $imap->errstr . "\n";
exit(1);
}
my $messages = $imap->select('INBOX');
print $messages." messages\n";
$imap->quit;
This bug also affects lenny since it ships libnet-imap-simple-perl 1.17-3.
$ ./imap.pl # with broken Simple.pm (wrong)
messages
$ ./imap.pl # with patched Simple.pm (correct)
0 messages
With the following patch the function returns the correct value "0 messages".
