[gaim-migrate @ 4233] "with the change to .60 and the new method of using perl_call argument parsing was broken. What essentially happened is that the previous method of pre-parsing was to generate a string in the for 'arg one','arg two','arg three' and execute the perl function via &perlfunc(args). This would make the perl function in essense parse the variables for us. With the introduction of perl_call, however, that argument list was being treated as one long, singular argument. perl_call asks for lists of pointers to character arrays that are NULL terminated, and it passes them into the function using an internal method. With this said, I changed the function execute_perl from requiring (char* function, char* args) to (char* function, char** args). It no longer takes a single argument and inserts it into the appropriate data type that is terminated with a NULL element, instead you now have to pass it a pre-NULL terminated array of character pointers to accomodate some functions wanting to give it more than one argument. I modified the functions that use execute_perl to use this method, and commented those lines, as well chopping the multiple argument section into buf[0] = looking sections for clarity. Finally, I inserted a heft comment above execute_perl to try and explain what I did, I hope it is understandable. " -- Eric Timme (var1ety) committer: Tailor Script <[e-mail]>
