• Strange behaviour with PERL

    From Fabio Bizzi@2:335/364.1 to All on Thu Apr 22 14:53:54 2021
    Hello All!

    I'm trying to run the Stas's PING robot, but it doesn't list the Links, so I digged about it and some strange things appeared.

    This is my filter.pl file:

    8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--

    use warnings;
    #
    BEGIN { require "/home/husky/bin/pong.pl";
    require "/home/husky/bin/netcheck.pl";
    require "/home/husky/bin/netpoint.pl";
    # require "/home/husky/bin/echocleaner.pl";
    require "/home/husky/bin/pingpong.pm";
    }
    sub filter{
    w_log( "CheckPoint 1" );
    w_log( "$config{name}" );
    w_log( "CheckPoint 2" );
    w_log( "$config{sysop}" );
    w_log( "CheckPoint 3" );
    w_log( "$config{origin}" );
    w_log( "CheckPoint 4" );
    w_log( "$hpt_version" );
    w_log( "CheckPoint 5" );
    w_log( "$links{'2:221/6'}{'password'}" );
    w_log( "CheckPoint 6" );
    w_log( "$links{'2:221/6'}{'password'}" );
    w_log( "CheckPoint 7" );
    if ( !defined( $area ) ) {
    ping_pong( $fromname, $fromaddr, $toname, $toaddr, $subject, $text, $PVT+$K_S, 100 );
    }
    sub route{
    return route_to();
    }
    &pong;
    &netcheck;
    &netpoint;
    # &echocleaner;
    }

    8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--

    And this is the log of HPT:

    8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--8<--

    As you can see, the output between Checpoints 2 and 3 is garbage, like the output between Checkpoints 6 and 7

    P.S. I have changed the To: from PING to PPING so I can test it safely from the PING Warriors. :P

    The system is a Devuan Beowulf 64bit, HPT version is 1.9.0-cur 2020-11-09

    Meanwhile, on this point (Ubuntu 20.04LTS 64bit) When I call w_log("$links{'2:221/6'}{'password'}" );
    and
    w_log( "$links{'2:221/6'}{'password'}" );

    I get this:

    6 14:52:43 CheckPoint 5
    6 14:52:43 PERL: Use of uninitialized value in string at /home/bizzi/husky/bin/filter.pl line 29.
    6 14:52:43 6 14:52:43 CheckPoint 6
    6 14:52:43 PERL: Use of uninitialized value in string at /home/bizzi/husky/bin/filter.pl line 31.

    The filter.pl is similar, but this HPT is hpt/lnx 1.9.0-cur 2019-01-08

    Any ideas/suggestion? :)

    I'm going mad!

    Many thanks!!!

    Ciao!

    Perhaps they are in conflict.

    require "/home/husky/bin/pingpong.pm";
    }

    You have to do it differently ...

    [fido@host-187 perl]$ perldoc ./pingpong.pm

    Put pingpong.pm somewhere in the @INC path. It's strongly recommended for
    Windows users to put it in the same directory with filter.pl.

    place to filter.pl something like this:

    use pingpong;

    BUGS
    ping_pong uses the $config{origin} variable. If the Origin variable is not
    defined in the HPT configuration file, then this leads to the crash of the
    whole Perl hook.

    This has been fixed in version 2021-04-19.
    However, in the described case, the conflict of two pings is most likely to blame.

    Have nice nights.
    Brother Rabbit.

    Ok, I'll disable the former PING and enable only pingpong.

    require "/home/husky/bin/pingpong.pm";
    }

    You have to do it differently ...

    Ok, but how I can rewrite the filer.pl to run also the other modules?

    Actually I have three other modules that run on my filter.pl:

    How did you manage this? You cloned hpt from GitHub and obtained the two-month-old version? The latest hpt version is 20210418.

    Yes, you have to update everything using `git pull` and then build and install everything:

    $ cat build_all
    #!/bin/sh

    build()
    {
    git pull
    make
    sudo make install
