Dear Release team,

The security team has asked that we fix a couple of no-dsa issues in
the next squeeze point release. This bug
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=604902) was also
queued for a point release update.

The proposed patch
<http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/commit/01be0729981136a058cce07a897ccdb94609e1c0>

has been confirmed by the bug submitter as fixing the problem.

Could you approve this fix for stable?

Thanks,
Dominic.
