signing-party: running caff gives Perl errors

[hahn.seb@…]

I installed signing-party, which installed perl 5.8.8. When I run caff (a perl utility in signing-party), I receive the following errors:

I suspect this is a Perl error?

Assigning to maintainer.

I also get those warnings, but they don't prevent caff from running. They are caused by p5-file-temp and p5-mime-tools, as the simple perl file

use File::Temp;
use MIME::Entity;

launched via 'perl -w' gives the same set of warnings. CCing to the maintainers of those perl ports.

[macosforge.org@…]

Ah, I think I know why. MIME::Tools needs File::Temp >= 0.17, perl 5.8.8 ships with File::Temp 0.16 so we (macports) patches MIME::Tools.pm to use the macports installed File::Temp instead of the perl 5.8.8 installed File::Temp. I see that MIME::Tools 5.426 has been released, I'll have a look at that and see if it does something smart to work around this problem (though it does require File::Temp >=0.18 now...).

[macosforge.org@…]

MIME::Tools 5.426 has the same flavor of problem. I think the right solution is to invert perl's @INC so that macports installed modules override the core modules, something that FreeBSD's port system does for perl. Writing an RFC email to macports-dev@ about this, please comment there.

Is there a status upgrade?

This should be OK AFAICT since #12710 is fixed.
