Re^11: Debugger actions: On which lines?

Arghhhh! I just spent 20 minutes of my life preparing a bug report using "perlbug". After crafting a splendid report (truly splendid) I was prompted to send it, I did and the stupid programme tried to send the report by port 25 which failed (I send mail in other ways) and after it failed as far as I can tell my bug report (did I say it was truly splendid?) has been lost for ever!!! Perhaps I should learn python\t\t\n\t!

A very grumpy Worik

My copy of perlbug contains: `paraprint <<EOF; $0 has detected an error while trying to send your message: $error. Your message may not have been sent. You will now have a chance to sav +e a copy to disk. EOF SaveMessage();` [download] and `sub SaveMessage { my $file_save = $outfile \|\| "$progname.rep"; my $file = _prompt( '', "Name of file to save message in", $file_s +ave );` [download] So that is what is supposed to happen if there is a problem with sending the e-mail. I can certainly understand being very frustrated when that didn't happen. Note also that you can use "perlbug -F mybug.txt" if you want to use perlbug w/o it trying to send the e-mail for you. - tye	[reply] [d/l] [select]

My copy of perlbug contains:

        paraprint <<EOF;
$0 has detected an error while trying to send your message: $error.

Your message may not have been sent. You will now have a chance to sav
+e a copy to disk.
EOF
        SaveMessage();
[download]

and

sub SaveMessage {
    my $file_save = $outfile || "$progname.rep";
    my $file = _prompt( '', "Name of file to save message in", $file_s
+ave );
[download]

So that is what is supposed to happen if there is a problem with sending the e-mail. I can certainly understand being very frustrated when that didn't happen.
