2008-07-08attachment: Support perl 5.8's buggy version of CGI.pm.Joey Hess
This is truely horribly disgusting. CGI::tmpFileName, in current perls, is an undocumented function (which should be a clue..) that takes the original filename of an uploaded attachment, and returns the name of the tempfile that CGI has stored it in. In old perls, though, CGI::tmpFileName does not take a filename. It takes a key from the object's {'.tmpfiles'} hash. This key is something crazy like '*Fh::fh00001group' -- apparently the stringification of a filehandle object. Just to add to the fun, tmpFileName doesn't take the key, it expects a refernce to the key. Argh?! But the fun doesn't stop there, because in perl 5.8, CGI.pm is also broken in two other ways. The upload() method is supposed to return a filehandle to the temp file. It doesn't. The param() method is supposed to return a filehandle to the temp file, that stringifies to the original filename. It returns just the original filename, no filehandle. Combine all these bugs, and you end up with this disgusting commit. Since I have no way to get the filehandle, I *need* to get the tempfile name. If I had the filehandle, I could probably pass it into tmpFileName, and it might strigify to the right key name. But I don't, so the only way to determine the key is to grub through the .tmpfiles hash ourselves. And finally, one the temp file name is discovered, a filehandle can finally be obtained by (re)opening it. I recommend that this commit be reverted when perl 5.8 is a mercifully faded memory. I'm really, really, really glad I'm actually being paid for working on this right now!

2008-07-07undo wishlist changesJoey Hess
You don't want to post new wishlist items, really, as they're lower priority than just todo items. :-) Anyway, I want to keep wishlist and todos both under todo/ so that they can easily be changed from one state to another. And the inline caused items to be created under wishlist/ , but didn't actually inline them.
