Dear Perl Monks,

I'm trying to build a gmail filsystem based on Fuse and GmailFS written in perl (most for learning purpose and fun !).

The Net::FS::Gmail module relies on Mail::Webmail::Gmail. Here is a sample session in pirl :

bcarnazzi@tuxbook ~ $ pirl
Welcome to the Perl shell. Type ':help' for more information

pirl @> use Net::FS::Gmail;
@var = ();
                                                                      
+                         
pirl @> $fs=Net::FS::Gmail->new(username=>'bcarnazzi',password=>'xxx')
+;
@var = (
         bless( {
                  '_gmail' => bless( {
                                       '_proxy_enable' => 0,
                                       '_logged_in' => 1,
                                       '_proxy_user' => '',
                                       '_cookies' => {
                                                       'S'
<CUTED>
                  'Mail::Webmail::Gmail' ),
                  '_user' => 'bcarnazzi'
                }, 'Net::FS::Gmail' )
       );

pirl @> $fs->store("test.csv");
@var = ();

pirl @> $fs->files();
ERROR: Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference at /usr/lib/
+perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/Net/FS/Gmail.pm line 149.

There is no related bugs in this CPAN module, so I guess the problem is about Mail::Webmail::Gmail.

When I try to use Mail::Webmail::Gmail, I can connect to my gmail account, but that's all. I can't retrieve any mail or anything. All module dependencies are satisfied and I can connect any www-site with HTTPS. While the module has not been updated since 2006, I feel this is a bug (need confirmation). Some of you meet the same trouble ?

What is the best way to handle this ? Should I open a ticket ? Propose a patch if I find the bug ? Where ?

Best regards,

Bruno.
