[Mon-devel] Mon 1.1 "set"/"get" adds unwanted single quotes

[Ed R. <er...@pa...>]

I finally upgraded my production system to Mon 1.1 and Mon-Client-1.000.

I ran into a new problem that eluded my previous testing - I use
the "set" command to set a variable to a numeric value.  My client
programs that fetched that numeric value using the "get" command
no longer recognized the value.  It turned out if I "set" a value like
this:   12345

It would be returned via "get" like this:  '12345'

Yes, with extra single quotes around it.  Easy to code around, but
annoying.  It looks like this is happening due to changes in Mon::Client
where "set" is implemented.  It's also happening for string values that
I set, which hasn't broken anything yet because I only use those vars
for display.

Is this related to the parsing changes in Mon 1.1?  Can we fix it so
that the single quotes aren't seen by the client programs?  Also, if
a client program wants to muck with some of the vars set by Mon, it won't
be able to insert data that Mon will understand because of the extra
quotes.
