Simple perl code with just #! /usr/bin/perl -w use X500::DN; produces this error. I do not understand the code, but maybe the line local $Parse::RecDescent::skip = undef; in /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.16.0/X500/DN.pm is the problematic one? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

On the line mentioned in warning (unfortunately, right now I am not able to reproduce the warning) the code is: my $initial_skip = defined($self->{skip}) ? $self->{skip} : $skip; so it means $skip _always_ needs to be defined, and '\s*' seems to me as a reasonable value. I am the maintainer of the package not so long, so I have no idea right now, why somebody set the skip to 'undef'. I will work on that. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

(which is a regular expression describing the universal token prefix) It defaults to '\s*' meaning skipping all whitespace. There's a distinction between undef and '' in perl, (eg in test with defined()). However perl treats undef variable as either 0 or an empty string (depending on the context I guess) In this case the undef-ined skip variable is treated as '', so the suggested fix should work exactly the same as did the 'undef' before. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It was interpreted as a "" or a 0, but maybe it was a mistake. To suppress this warning assign a defined value to your variables. To help you figure out what was undefined, perl will try to tell you the name of the variable (if any) that was undefined. In some cases it cannot do this, so it also tells you what operation you used the undefined value in. Note, however, that perl optimizes your program anid the operation displayed in the warning may not necessarily appear literally in your program. For example, "that $foo" is usually optimized into "that " . $foo, and the warning will refer to the concatenation (.) operator, even though there is no . in your program. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
