Bug#544540: libfcgi-perl: Use of FILENO on FCGI file handles causes error

[Simon Waters]

Package: libfcgi-perl
Version: 0.67-2.1+b1
Severity: normal


Attempting to use Perl Inline Java with FCGI.pm gives the error:

mod_fcgid: stderr: Trapped error: Caught exception in pajax::Controller::cp->purchase "Can't exec JVM: Can't locate object method "FILENO" via package "FCGI::Stream" at /usr/share/perl/5.10/IPC/Open3.pm line 79.  at /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0/Inline/Java.pm line 484"

This is a known issue as described here:

http://www.mail-archive.com/ports@openbsd.org/msg16948.html

There is a commented out definition of FILENO in the file /usr/lib/perl5/FCGI.pm which describes the issue.

Uncommenting this resolved the issue.

I feel this should be resolved properly, possibly by modifying the behaviour of the calling modules.

Is it any clearer to the Debian Perl maintainers in which package this issue would properly be addressed?
