Seemingly our updated mailsystem changed something.
So directly to you and may be somebody can post it,

Try changing
227 {printf "%s", ((localtime $twas) =~ s/... //r =~ s/:..
/ /r);}
to: {printf("%s", ((localtime $twas) =~ s/... //r =~ s/:..
/ /r));}
There exist cases of ambiguity calling a function with a list of
parameters which themselves are lists and need (...).
Then you fix the interpretation of the parameter list by the extra pair
of (...) around ALL the parameters of printf.
Hope this helps, as I have not tested it, but experienced the
same problem many times in debug prints :-)
Hi Christoph,
Thanks for looking at this.
I tried your suggestion but it didn't help. :-\
I also tried Daniel's suggestion:
{
my $temp = localtime $twas;
$temp =~ s/:.. / /;
$temp =~ s/... //;
printf "%s", $temp;
}
Which does allow the script to run.
Daniel, you said that your fix *should* be equivalent. How will I know?
Does any one else use this script? Where I can log a bug report?
Well, to be absolutely certain, you'd need to run it through B::Deparse
read the output, but I don't think you'll need to go quite that far...
Mostly that was me saying 'I'm coding in the email client - no suitability
for anything is guaranteed'. I don't see any reason why it should be
different in any cases - but I haven't researched all possible cases. The
only real difference is that I am using a temporary variable - and even
there I suspect Deparse would show that Perl is using one anyway.
If you do file a bug report someplace, mention that they should take a look
at the POSIX module and strftime - I have the *strong* suspicion that the
whole convoluted mess could be replaced with one function call.
