Yeah, it's good to fix things you broke. :-) You especially want to do this
before your pgperl makes it into sarge.
* Version number choice. I suggest version 1:2.18-4.1 for Stephen's pgperl;
it is greater than the "overwriting" version you uploaded; and is an NMU
version number so as to alert Stephen that something funny happened (in case
he loses all these emails). Apart from the epoch, it's the standard next NMU
version. :-)
* What to call *your* pgperl. Check that it doesn't conflict with any other
existing packages before uploading this time. ;-)
