Subject: [experimental] perl-5.001-6

Priority:       medium

IMPORTANT
This is based on the first unofficial patch in months. This patch is 
big. Please keep an older version handy in case it goes wrong.

TODO / FIXME
* ELF: it looks like Configure is still using /usr/lib somewhere, since it
  incorrectly enables DB_File support.

Perl 5.001 Debian 6 (5.001n) - Ray Dassen <[email-masked]>
* Updated to 5.001n: big patch, small problems remain. 
* debian.rules now passes definitions to Configure, instead of running 
  Configure with a modified hints/linux.sh.
* Use a variable in debian.rules to test the binary format.
* With ELF, DB_File support is disabled (rather ad hoc).
* Use softlinks for suidperl and perl<version>.
* Added explicit Depends: elf-libc, which was implicit (via elf-libgdbm).

his name in vain.
