debconf and perl : how to use it ?

[laurent COOPER <laurent@ac-grenoble.fr>]

Hello

I'm trying to contact some debian devel because I don't manage to get debconf perl module working

In the end, I've made a mini perl executable named test.pl :

------------------ test.pl --------------
#! /usr/bin/perl -w
use strict
use Debconf::Client::ConfModule qw(:all);

my ($status,$value)=get('debconf/priority');
print $value,"\n";
-------------------------------------------

If I use the command
test.pl

I get nothing. Nothing is printed, everything seems to be useless.

But if I ask a bit more debug
DEBCONF_DEBUG=developer test.pl

Everything then seems to work fine. I see the dialog, and the print works well.

what did I miss ? I've tried to google the Debconf::Client::ConfModule, I've tried to read the sources, but I didn't find the answer. Any help would be appreciated.

TIA
(PS: I'm using debian-devel-french usually, so if you can make a CC for me)
