Module class contained an illegal character (-)

[Sabrina Lautier]

Hi all !

Here is the error message I get when my cfengine script call a module 
I wrote:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
cfengine:<servername>: Module class contained an illegal character (-
).
Only alphanumeric or underscores in classes.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
This is more a warning message than an error one as the script keep 
running and doesn't return an error code.

The module (module:test) is called with the following arguments:
module:test module_exec_ok install_patch patchlist $(path1) $(path2) 
$(serverfullname) $(domainname) $(allclasses)

The first 2 arguments are module classes previously defined 
in 'AddInstallable' and as you can see don't contain any dash (-).
$(path1) and $(path2) are in the form /aaa/bbb/ccc and don't contain 
any dash.
$(serverfullname) and $(domainname) are in the form xxx.yyy.zzz and 
don't contain any dash either.
On the other hand, the variable $(allclasses) does contain dashes.
Some are classes defined with the cfagent -D option:
 * patch_108528-15
 * patch_108456-11
with cfagent called this way: cfagent -Dpatch_108528-15 -
Dpatch_108456-11)
Some are system's specific like : pin-23

My module looks like this:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl
# Set parameters
my ($class_ok,$class_install_patch,$macro_patcheslist, ...) = @_;
# lots of computation
if (<condition>)
  {
    printf("=$macro_patcheslist=%s\n",108528-15:108456-11));
    print "+$class_install_patch\n";
  }
print "+$class_ok\n";
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Thinking that the pb might be due to the '-' in patch_xxxxxx-xx, I've 
replaced it with a '_' but this didn't changed anything and the 
warning message still appeared.

I don't know where the pb is from as none of my module classes 
contain any dash... Why does the function CheckClass (in cfagent.c) 
find one ?
Any idea ?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Sabrina
