[Maia-users] script process-quarantine.pl throws an error

[Bob]

I have to admit that my cron job hasn't run forever for this script, so
i can't tell you when the problem arose. However, here is what I get:

Output from command perl
/usr/local/share/maia/scripts/process-quarantine.pl --learn ..

Argument "2.49_01" isn't numeric in numeric ge (>=) at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/mach/5.20/forks.pm line 1570

Any idea what's going on?

Thanks,
Bob

This is a bug in perl's forks.pm module. I posted about this in August
along with a patch:

http://www.renaissoft.com/cgi-bin/mailman/private/maia-users/2015-August/016668.html

The downside is that you may need to re-apply the patch every time you
upgrade perl. However, I think it's fixed in perl 5.20.3 -- at least, I
did not need to reapply the patch after upgrading on FreeBSD 10.2.
