Bug#502312: libflickr-api-perl: Flickr API calls fail with 'API returned an invalid response' (line 111)

[Gunnar Wolf]

Seems like I doo need a test case for you reproducing this problem. I
tried with:

------------------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl
use YAML; 
use Flickr::API;
use Flickr::API::Request; 

my ($key, $username, $api, $req, $res);

$key = "this_is_not_my_real_key";
$username = 'gunnarwolf';

$api = Flickr::API->new({key => $key}); 

$req = Flickr::API::Request->new({method => "flickr.people.findByUsername", 
				  args => {username => $username}}); 

$res = $api->execute_request($req);
print YAML::Dump $res;
------------------------------------------------------------

And... The code failed to fail:
