#   Mon Sep 08 01:47:10 2008 pannel[...]gmail.com - Ticket created  
Subject: Module crash when mail server can not be contacted
Date: Mon, 8 Sep 2008 15:46:43 +1000
To: bug-Net-IMAP-Client[...]rt.cpan.org
From: Mark Spoelstra <pannel[...]gmail.com>
[text/plain 394b]
When the specified mail server can not be contacted the following
error is thrown and the module crashes:

Can't call method "getline" on an undefined value at /usr/lib/perl5/
site_perl/5.8.8/Net/IMAP/Client.pm line 281.
(in cleanup) Can't call method "opened" on an undefined value
at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/Net/IMAP/Client.pm line 42.

Thanks very much.

Regards,

Mark

Resolved in 0.2.1 which should reach CPAN soon. The constructor will
now return undef when connection failed so you can do:

my $imap = Net::IMAP::Client->new( ... )
or die "can't connect to IMAP server";

HTH.

Scratch that, it will be 0.3 (looks like 0.2.1 is interpreted as a
smaller version number and the PAUSE indexer failed).
