--- Comment #11 from Henrik Krohns <apa...@hege.li> --- Committed to trunk in backwards and 3rd party compatible way. New escape => 1 option is used everywhere in SA code, for example: Mail::SpamAssassin::Logger::add(method => 'stderr', timestamp_fmt => $log_timestamp_fmt, escape => 1); If escape is not defined at all (like current Amavis), normal pre-4.0 method is used. This is the used method, which is moved into all Logger/*.pm modules. if ($self->{escape}) { local $1; # Bug 7305: # Quote non-ascii characters as \x{XX} or \x{XXXX} (Unicode) # Also quote backslash, so the log can be unescaped properly $msg =~ s{([^\x20-\x5b\x5d-\x7e])}{ $1 eq '\\' ? '\\\\' : sprintf(ord($1) > 255 ? '\\x{%04X}' : '\\x{%02X}', ord($1)) }egs; } elsif (!exists $self->{escape}) { # Backwards compatible pre-4.0 escaping, if $escape not given. # replace control characters with "_", tabs and spaces get # replaced with a single space. $msg =~ tr/\x09\x20\x00-\x1f/ _/s; } I hate octal presensation, so it's \x{FF} and \x{FFFF} to be uniform. Should have done this long time ago, it's super helpful!
