Xref: usenet.cise.ufl.edu comp.lang.perl.announce:77 comp.lang.perl.modules:2075 *** This is a vital bug-fix release *** Apparently, certain methods were not downcasing the content-type they returned (as they claimed); this has now been fixed in 4.116. If you use MIME-tools 4.x for Perl MIME-parsing, you should upgrade ASAP, since this bug will cause all content-types not already in all-lowercase to be handled by the parser as though they are unrecognized. Particularly vulnerable are things like "MULTIPART/MIXED". :-( My thanks to Rodrigo de Almeida Siqueira for finding this bug. A t/*.t test has been added to trap it in the future. Okay, that's enough of my dirty laundry for this week. :-) -- ___ _ _ _ _ ___ _ Eryq (eryq@zeegee.com) / _ \| '_| | | |/ _ ' / President, Zero G Inc: http://www.zeegee.com/ | __/| | | |_| | |_| | \___||_| \__, |\__, |___/\ Visit STREETWISE, Chicago's newspaper by/ |___/ |______/ of the homeless: http://www.streetwise.org
