This is a bug report for perl from klaus@​soonix.de,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.40 running under perl 5.20.2.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
This is a patch for perlbug.
On perlmonks, someone mentioned wanting to send a bug report and perlbug reported success, but the bug report did not come through, most probably due to un- or misconfigured mailer.
A more verbose success message might help here.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
This is a patch for perlbug.
On perlmonks, someone mentioned wanting to send a bug report and
perlbug reported success, but the bug report did not come through,
most probably due to un- or misconfigured mailer.
A more verbose success message might help here.
See attached file

Speaking for $self​: I think I'd find this error message​:

#####
+my $success_msg = "\nMessage has been handed over to this computer's mail system\n";
#####

... just as confusing as the one it replaces. I suspect that most people do not use their "computer's mail system" to send mail; they use Thunderbird or Outlook or some other mail client. But, as I know from experience, 'perlbug' does *not* hand its message over to one's email client. On the rare occasions when I use 'perlbug' (rather than logging into rt.perl.org), I only use it to compose a message which I then save and mail via Thunderbird.

So this patch wouldn't really help me -- but that's just my two cents.

This is a bug report for perl from klaus@​soonix.de,

-----------------------------------------------------------------
This is a patch for perlbug.
On perlmonks, someone mentioned wanting to send a bug report and
perlbug reported success, but the bug report did not come through,
most probably due to un- or misconfigured mailer.
A more verbose success message might help here.
See attached file

Speaking for $self​: I think I'd find this error message​:

#####
+my $success_msg = "\nMessage has been handed over to this computer's
mail system\n";
#####

... just as confusing as the one it replaces. I suspect that most
people do not use their "computer's mail system" to send mail; they
use Thunderbird or Outlook or some other mail client. But, as I know
from experience, 'perlbug' does *not* hand its message over to one's
email client. On the rare occasions when I use 'perlbug' (rather than
logging into rt.perl.org), I only use it to compose a message which I
then save and mail via Thunderbird.

So this patch wouldn't really help me -- but that's just my two cents.

I'm not sure it helps either.

The original discussion appears to be at​:

http​://perlmonks.org/?node_id=1162919

It's possible the correct solution is a patch for #121553, though that's going to be ugly if the mailer is configured for Thunderbird and you're in a non-"-Y" ssh session.
