Bug#447021: libmime-lite-perl/3.020-2 broken code

[Ruben Puettmann]

Package: libmime-lite-perl
Version: 3.020-2
Severity: normal


            hy,

seems that the /usr/share/perl5/MIME/Lite.pm has a bug around line 511:


...
    sub my_extract_full_addrs {
        my $str = shift;
        my @addrs;
        $str =~ s/\s/ /g; ### collapse whitespace

...

If I send with this code a mail:

....
    $msg = MIME::Lite->new (
        From => $from_address,
        To => $email,
        Subject => $subject,
        Type =>'multipart/mixed'
    ) or die "Error creating multipart container: $!\n";

    $msg->attach (
        Type => 'TEXT',
        Data => $message_body
    ) or die "Error adding the text message part: $!\n";

   $msg->attach (
    Type => 'application/zip',
       Path => $client_windows_src,
       Filename => $client_windows,
       Disposition => 'attachment'
   ) or die "Error adding $client_windows_src: $!\n";

   $msg->attach (
    Type => 'application/zip',
       Path => $client_unix_src,
       Filename => $client_unix,
       Disposition => 'attachment'
   ) or die "Error adding $client_windows_src: $!\n";

   MIME::Lite->send('smtp', $mail_host, Timeout=>60);
   $msg->send;
....

I got uninitialized errors on line 511 an so on. I have fix it with:

....
   sub my_extract_full_addrs {
        my $str = shift;
        my @addrs;
        if ($str eq "" ) { $str=" "; }
        $str =~ s/\s/ /g;                                                 ### collapse whitespace
....
