From brain@7a69.2y.net

I am working on a program which takes a unix mbox file and turns it into "purty"
html for a small mailing list I run w/ friends. I am using debian Linux
unstable. It is a linux 2.2.12/glibc2.1 system, I didn't compile perl though it
came from a deb package. I installed Mail​::Folder with CPAN in the canonical
way. This seems to segfault on any mbox not just the 2meg one I am parsing.

The problem started occuring after I added the if($#tfrm > 0) statement in
sub plink_index().

Below is the script/program​:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
# This is a perl script to parse out a mailbox file and put it in
# a directory.
# Ben Cooper. fall 1999

use Mail​::Folder​::Mbox;
use integer;

####### html stuffs

###### index.html file
# link (to, description)
sub plink_index {
  my ($loc, $dat, $frm, $sub) = @​_;

  my @​tfrm = split(' ', $frm);
  my $mfrm = $tfrm[$#tfrm];
  $mfrm =~ s/^<(.*?)>$/$1/;
  if($#tfrm > 0) {
  $frm = join(' ', $tfrm[0..($#tfrm-1)]);
  } else {
  $frm = $mfrm;
  }
  $mfrm = 'mailto​:' . $frm;

print IFH $trailer;
close IFH;

__END__

Use this by​:
$ mkdir output
$ ./parse.pl /path/to/mbox output

Inside output there should be a file index.html. Which contains links
to all the messages, which should be in a dir hiarchy based on the date
of the message.

I have stashed away a copy of this script incase you have any future questions.

From @ask

Please make a smaller test case and retest it with 5.8.0.

Thanks for looking into this!

From @chorny

http​://rt.perl.org/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=1357

Mail​::Folder​::Mbox module is very old (last release in 1998), it depends
on XS module File​::Sync and it has 'PASS (3) FAIL (116)' reports by
cpantesters. I also was not able to install it.

This bug is also very old (1999), reporter never answered. Perl was
seriously changed in this period. IMHO this bug can be closed.
