I wanted to build an awesome place for people to discuss module specific issues, but I don't have any more time for this, and there are much better places to discuss Perl-related issues. I'd recommend asking your question on Stack Overflow or on Perl Monks.
If you are looking for a Perl tutorial or Perl-related news, I hope these links will serve you well.

'got not logged in page' upon login
Heya Grant...

Yea, I know this is in the documented list of bugs.... but im havin a hell of a time trying to get around it

Or maybe its because its now 5am and my brain is slushed. :)

But anyways.... im pulling accounts from a database of mine, and these account MAY be subject to have the passwords changed.... so if the password in the DB was wrong, my scripts just keep trying to log in 20 times like you have documented.

This gets on peoples nerves too, haha.... cause it makes their account get a captcha :P


So i was wondering if there was something i could do until you get the bug patched in a new version. Is there maybe some quick hack i could punch up to make it retry only 3 times when logging in without screwing up the rest of the dependencies?


Gah, i should go to bed now.

Thanx Grant :P

Re: 'got not logged in page' upon login
I can't think of a good workaround, so I made the change which will appear in version 0.45. Not sure when that'll be released though, as there's an irritating, obscure bug I'm working on in Comment.pm.

Until then, I suggest your users try using the correct username and password. :)

(And if you really want the update and are feeling risky, go grab the latest Myspace.pm from SourceForge.com/projects/www-myspace. But I'm warning you now that's a good way to break things ;-)
