Package: fig2sty Version: 1:0.1-12 Severity: minor POD of Xfig.pm writes in the synopsys:
# Parse a Fig file $fig->parsefile($figname); die "Can't read file $figname" if ($fig->{'object'} < 0); However $fig->{'object'} is numeric (i.e. -1) in case of error only. Otherwise it may be one of 'color', 'ellipse', 'polyline', 'spline', 'text', 'arc' or 'compund'. Unfortunately usage the above example code produces a warning if parsefile() method is executed succesfully and Perl runs with warnings enabled. It is like this: Argument "compound" isn't numeric in numeric lt (<) at ... Returning undef in case of error would be much more perlish but there is no way to change the return value of -1 without breaking existing programs. A new error indicator is required, or at least the documentation should be fixed somehow e.g. $fig->parsefile($figname); die "Can't read file $figname" if $fig->{'object'} !~ /^\w+$/; Gabor -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.4 APT prefers stable APT policy: (700, 'stable'), (500, 'proposed-updates') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages fig2sty depends on: ii perl 5.10.0-19lenny2 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction fig2sty recommends no packages. fig2sty suggests no packages. -- debconf-show failed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-qa-packages-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
