Bug#849298: libconfig-inifiles-perl: Infinite loop when "each" is used

Package: libconfig-inifiles-perl
Version: 2.94-1
Severity: normal
Hi,
suppose the following code which seems normal for processing the module
as a tied hash:
use Config::IniFiles;
tie (my %ini, 'Config::IniFiles', -file=>"test.ini");
foreach my $s (keys %ini) {
while (my ($k,$v) = each %{$ini{$s}}) {
print("$s $k $v\n");
}
}
Try it on the following trivial config file:
[foo]
bar=baz
The result will be an infinite loop printing "foo bar baz".
This is especially frustrating, because the docs list explicitly that a
statement like the following should work:
while (($k, $v) = each %{$ini{$section}}) {...}
Thanks!
cheers, josch
