Excuse the rather messy paste. But you have brought up a good point.
Until tonight I have not had this serious of a problem updating Woody. Yes
during the past month, I have noticed irregular errors with Perl modules
while installing packages.

But this isn't affecting "right now".  I am CERTAIN that it will be fixed.
Sitting in testing has it's pros and cons, but I believe Woody has had
more pros than cons!  ;)
