This may be a result of my ignorance of perl, but I ran the following
code on a simple server setup:
use MogileFS;
my $mogfs = MogileFS->new(domain => 'testdomain',hosts => [
'192.168.1.4:6001' ]);
die "Unable to initialize MogileFS object.\n" unless $mogfs;
my $filecontents = 'foo foo';
print $filecontents."\n";
my $fh = $mogfs->new_file("testkey", "testclass");
die "Unable to allocate filehandle.\n" unless $fh;
$fh->print($filecontents);
die "Unable to save file to MogileFS.\n" unless $fh->close;
my $filecontents2 = $mogfs->get_file_data("testkey");
print $filecontents2."\n";
my @paths = $mogfs->get_paths("testkey",true);
print @paths;
The results were:
brandon at stromgarde:~$ perl test.pl
foo foo
SCALAR(0x8316d24)
http://192.168.1.4:7500/dev1/0/000/000/0000000032.fid
When I located the file in question and catted it, I got 'foo foo' as
the contents. Is there any reason why I am getting this SCALAR return
rather than a proper string return from get_file_data? Do I need to
typecast it in some way?
