I'd recommend joining the libwww-perl mailing list http://lists.perl.org/list/libwww-perl.html and asking there. Gisle Aas who is AFAIK an ActiveState employee is on the list.
BTW the source code is in Github: http://github.com/gisle/libwww-perl and I am sure Gisle will be happy to receive patches to the module. Even in the form of failing tests. regards Gabor On Sun, Jan 16, 2011 at 11:08 AM, Shmuel Fomberg <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Ynon. > > > LWP::Simple and LWP are part of the same package, libwww-perl. > > it have about 100 open bugs in the RT, some of them a few years old. > > > Shmuel. > > > On 2011/01/16 10:46, ynon perek wrote: > >> Hi Shmuel, >> Switching from LWP::Simple to LWP and creating the user agent myself - >> still crashed. >> >> So, I think it's more of an LWP / Net::SSLeay issue >> >> On 15 January 2011 21:46, Shmuel Fomberg <[email protected] >> <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: >> >> Hi Ynon. >> >> A few comments from the SSLeay documentation: >> >> """ >> It is required to reset these callbacks to undef immediately after use >> to prevent memory leaks, thread safety problems and crashes on >> exit that >> can occur if different threads set different callbacks. >> """ >> >> So if LWP::Simple uses these callbacks, and then it is being >> Perl-level >> duplicated (on thread creation) and destroyed (on join), segfault is >> sure to come. >> So it is probably more of a bug for the LWP::Simple, but looking >> in the >> RT I see that nobody maintain this module. >> _______________________________________________ Perl mailing list [email protected] http://mail.perl.org.il/mailman/listinfo/perl
