[Not sure if you were expecting a reply from debian-perl or not...] This warning is due to a change in newer versions of Perl. Assuming that the statement is needed at all (?), the fix would be to change the "use IO" line to something more explicit, like "use IO::File" or "use IO::Scalar". That will take care of the warning.
