Summary: Deep recursion in CGI::Carp::warn Product: Fedora Core Version: fc4 Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: normal Component: perl AssignedTo: jvdias@redhat.com ReportedBy: jorris@redhat.com QAContact: dkl@redhat.com CC: fedora-perl-devel-list@redhat.com
Description of problem: CGI::Carp::Warn experiences deep recursion when hit, followed by a segmentation fault. This can make developing any web applications using CGI::Carp::Warn difficult, as any trivial warning will cause pages of log output followed by a crash.
See https://rt.perl.org/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=36521 for details and possible patches.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): perl-5.8.6-15
How reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce: Execute script: #!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser); use diagnostics;
warn "foo";
Results: Deeply nested warning message followed by segfault.

------- Additional Comments From jvdias@redhat.com 2005-11-08 18:43 EST ------- This only happens in FC-4 and FC-5 with the 'use diagnostics;' - without this, the command completes ok: $ perl -e 'use CGI::Carp; CGI::Carp::warn("foo");' [Tue Nov 8 18:25:03 2005] -e: foo at -e line 1.
The 'use CGI::Carp; use diagnostics; CGI::Carp::warn("foo");' works fine with RHEL-3's perl-5.8.0-90.2 and RHEL-4's perl-5.8.5-17.RHEL4 .
