Using just 'die $@ if $@' for that shows the actual problem: dnsResolve is not defined at main line 94 in 41 I suppose the old Etch javascript library exposed a dnsResolve() function but the newer ones don't. I suspect this is not a bug. It seems to work for me if I supply a dnsResolve() implementation before the "$cx->eval(get_pac_functions())" line: use Socket; # for inet_ntoa $cx->bind_function(name => "dnsResolve", func => sub { my $name = shift; my $packed = gethostbyname($name); return $packed ? inet_ntoa($packed) : undef; }); This is obviously not IPv6 compatible etc. but it's a start. I haven't really investigated the segfault: given that there's an error indicator before it happens and that it's fixed in sid, I don't think it's worth the effort trying to fix it in lenny. YMMV of course. Hope this helps, -- Niko Tyni nt...@debian.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
