Not directly. Peter, what version of Perl5 are you running (i.e.
which revision number) (check with 'dpkg -l perl')? If it is lower than
perl5.001-6, please upgrade. If it is perl5.001-6, please send me
a minimal script that shows the problem.
I've released the latest Debian perl5 packages, but I am not a perl
wizard (I took on temporary maintenance when the previous maintainer
left the project).
Greetings,
Ray
