Created attachment 534999 [details] Make the noise stop in FormFu::Constraint Description of problem: "Use of uninitialized value in string eq at /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/HTML/FormFu/Constraint.pm line 107." Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.09003-2.fc16 How reproducible: Certain input data causes the warning to be generated Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: "Use of uninitialized value in string eq at /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/HTML/FormFu/Constraint.pm line 107." printed to terminal Expected results: Glorious silence Additional info: Scalar::Util's reftype can return undef. There is no sanity check before using in a string eq, hence terminal spam.
I've reported the problem upstream with a slightly modified patch.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '16'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

There is no "use warnings" in that Constraint.pm.
The code is part of a Catalyst project. I've gone back to it and cannot reproduce the warning messages using the current 0.09007-1.fc16 so I can't figure out a smaller test case.
Upstream never closed the bug report, but the fix is present in 0.09007.
