HELP! ;)
I'm trying to use the @me array in on_handshake(), but no matter what I do I always get the error:

"Perl on_handshake(): @me contains no valid addresses"

even with this simple sub:

sub on_handshake
{
@me;
}

+ 08 Sep 09:45:26 [51014] incoming session with unknown
- 08 Sep 09:45:27 [51014] VER binkd/1.1a-112/Linux binkp/1.1
+ 08 Sep 09:45:27 [51014] addr: 4000:1/1@testnet
+ 08 Sep 09:45:27 [51014] Perl on_handshake(): @me contains no valid addresses - 08 Sep 09:45:27 [51014] hiding aka 2000:1/2@fakenet

Is this a bug or how do I use @me? The perlhooks documentation says

5) on_handshake()
- for server called after receiving remote addresses (before addr is sent)
- best for hide_aka and present_aka logic :-)
- return non-empty string to abort session with that reason
otherwise, if @me is defined present @me as our akas


The error message is from perlhooks.c

if ((me = perl_get_av("me", FALSE)) != NULL) {
FTN_ADDR addr;
int n = 0, N = av_len(me) + 1;
if (N > 0) state->pAddr = xalloc(N*sizeof(FTN_ADDR));
for (i = 0; i < N; i++) {
svp = av_fetch(me, i, FALSE);
if (svp == NULL) continue;
if (!parse_ftnaddress(SvPV(*svp, len), &addr, cfg->pDomains.first)) continue;
exp_ftnaddress(&addr, cfg->pAddr, cfg->nAddr, cfg->pDomains.first);
state->pAddr[n++] = addr;
}
state->nAddr = n;
if (n == 0) Log(LL_WARN, "Perl on_handshake(): @me contains no valid addresses");
}

Are there any addresses left over after hiding some?

That wasn't the problem. It's more weird / unusual behaviour of perl and/or binkd's perlhooks. If I do something like this

sub on_handshake
{
if (0) {
@me = ("4000:1/1@testnet");
}
}

I get the same error. My expectation was that the @me variable is never touched because of the if (0). But for some reason it gets initialized as an empty array, when it appears somewhere in the script. Another example:

sub on_handshake
{
Log(3, "<<< on_handshake() >>>");
}


sub after_handshake
{
Log(3, "<<< after_handshake() >>> @me");
}

There is not even a @me in the sub on_handshake().
