Re: Wheezy update of perl?

[Dominic Hargreaves <dom@earth.li>]

wheezy packages are now available from
git+ssh://git.debian.org/git/perl/perl.git (branch wheezy-security).
The patch is essentially identical to the jessie one (and of course
the test suite passes), so it should be fairly safe to upload. I'd
be grateful if someone else could take care of this as I won't have
much more time to work on this.

Thanks,
Dominic.
