Bug in myspace::comments

[text/plain 915b]

I get the following error message when trying to use the main "Example 1" and "Example 2"
scripts on the myspace::comments man page.

Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/WWW/
Myspace/Comment.pm line 124, <STDIN> line 2.

*Code that reproduces bug:
use WWW::Myspace;
use WWW::Myspace::Comment;

my $myspace = new WWW::Myspace;

my $comment = WWW::Myspace::Comment->new( $myspace );
my $response = "";

while ( $response ne "DONE" ) {
$response = $comment->post_comments( "Evening!" );
sleep 24*60*60;
}

Other info:
* Accepting friends requests and sending them comments works fine
* There were some problems installing YAML - had to force install it. After that www-
myspace installed fine
* I'm not sure whether expat is working
* perl v5.8.0
* Linux p15161741.pureserver.info 2.4.25-040218 #1 SMP Wed Feb 18 17:59:29 CET 2004

Good catch - Looks like a bug in the default handling of friend_ids in the post_comments
method.

I'm working on a fix now. To work around it, add the list of friends explicitly like this:
$response = $comment->post_comments( "Evening!" , $myspace->get_friends );

If expat weren't installed right, you'd probably have gotten a nasty error when it tried to log in.
If YAML isn't installed right, it would (I think) just break the save and load methods in
WWW::Myspace::Message.

Thanks,

Grant
