Using just 'die $@ if $@' for that shows the actual problem:
dnsResolve is not defined at main line 94 in 41
I suppose the old Etch javascript library exposed a dnsResolve() function
but the newer ones don't. I suspect this is not a bug.
It seems to work for me if I supply a dnsResolve() implementation before
the "$cx->eval(get_pac_functions())" line:
use Socket; # for inet_ntoa
$cx->bind_function(name => "dnsResolve", func => sub {
my $name = shift;
my $packed = gethostbyname($name);
return $packed ? inet_ntoa($packed) : undef;
});
This is obviously not IPv6 compatible etc. but it's a start.
I haven't really investigated the segfault: given that there's an error
indicator before it happens and that it's fixed in sid, I don't think
it's worth the effort trying to fix it in lenny. YMMV of course.
Hope this helps,
