Subject: IMPortant: Perl 5.003-2 fixes CERT Advisory 96.12 and problems in 1.1

This is the new Perl 5.003-2.  This fixes several items, the most
important of which is both a CERT Advisory and a CIAC bulletin.

If you use suid perl, you need to install this *now*.

This also fixes problems with upgrading from a.out to ELF and the
problem that some scripts depend on /bin/perl rather than /usr/bin/perl.

As always this is available at the debian ftp sites and at
ftp://ftp.daft.com/pub/debian/.
