Running strings on the ikiwiki.cgi wrapper, I see stuff like: + + 'wiki_file_regexp' => bless( do{\(my $o = undef)}, 'Regexp' ) + +without any payload of the actual regexp, and that would also certainly also have the observed effect of the regexps being completely broken while running in CGI mode.

After upgrading Data::Dumper to 2.121 I get: + + 'wiki_file_regexp' => qr/(?-xism:(^[-[:alnum:]_.:\/+]+$))/ + +This would call for at most an installation prerequisite of Data::Dumper >= 1.121. A look at the module's changelog shows that no intervening versions were actually released, so 1.121 would be the minimal good one. |
