Package: libconfig-tiny-perl
Version: 2.12-1
Severity: normal
Hi!
The module is able to read and write multiline values pretty well. Though, it
seems to use hardwired the string EOT for the here documents it writes into the
config file, and when a multiline string actually contains EOT on a single line
the module breaks the file for itself to be able to read it back in.
I would suggest rejecting to accept such a value. I see it that there is an
explicit SetParameterEOT($section, $EOT) mentioned in the manpage to mitigate
the effect of this, but the module really shouldn't break the file in the first
place and rather reject such values. Also it might be helpful to set the marker
not by section but actually even by section/value pair. That way one wouldn't
have to scan through all the multiline values of a section to find a marker
that wouldn't break the section.
Thanks,
Gerfried Fuchs
