Bug#708239: Package description outdated?



Package: libmodern-perl-perl
Version: 1.20121103-1
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-l10n-english@lists.debian.org

Dear Debian Perl Maintainers,


the (third paragraph of the) recent package description (1) still refers to
Perl 5.10. On my Squeeze box I get

  $ dpkg -l perl
  …
  ii  perl   5.10.1-17squeez Larry Wall's Practical Extraction and Report L

The current text is:

    This enables the strict and warnings pragmas, as well as all of the
    features available in Perl 5.10. It also enables C3 method resolution
    order as documented in `perldoc mro' and loads IO::File and IO::Handle
    so that you may call methods on filehandles. In the future, it may
    include additional core modules and pragmas.

To be honest, I did not understand the implications of (2) to the paragraph
quoted above. But as 5.10 is available for quite some time, perhaps

  "as well as all of the features available in Perl 5.10"

might be skipped. Is

  "In the future, it may include additional core modules and pragmas."

still valid?

Kind regards
       Martin
