The MIME::Decoder::QuotedPrint module throws a warning on usage
with Perl 5.38 (currently in experimental):
$ perl -w -e 'use MIME::Decoder::QuotedPrint'
Argument "3.16_01" isn't numeric in numeric ge (>=) at
/usr/share/perl5/MIME/Decoder/QuotedPrint.pm line 76.
This is because Perl core includes MIME::QuotedPrint at version 3.16_01,
and MIME::Decoder::QuotedPrint has this:
# The following code is horrible. I know. Beat me up. --dfs
BEGIN {
if (!defined(&encode_qp_threearg)) {
if ($::MIME::QuotedPrint::VERSION >= 3.03) {
eval 'sub encode_qp_threearg ( $$$ ) { encode_qp(shift, shift,
shift); }';
} else {
eval 'sub encode_qp_threearg ( $$$ ) { encode_qp(shift); }';
}
}
}
Looks like the version check needs to be changed to handle non-numeric
version strings.
This is breaking the test suites of (at least) request-tracker4 and
request-tracker5, which check for warnings.
