Package: perl-base Version: 5.8.4-8sarge4 Severity: normal Since upgrading to 5.8.4-8sarge4, I get told: Weak references are not implemented in the version of perl at /home/geoffc/weak line 6 BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /home/geoffc/weak line 6.
/home/geoffc/weak is pretty simple: use Scalar::Util qw(weaken); my $var = 'sesoise'; my $ref = \$var; weaken($ref); However on my desktop, which is i386 as well, I don't have this problem. I don't really know how to track this down. There was a Scalar/Util.pm file that was installed with cpanplus, but I've removed that. I know only have the debian Scalar/Util.pm installed: ~$ locate Scalar/Util.pm /root/.cpanplus/5.8.4/build/Scalar-List-Utils-1.18/blib/lib/Scalar/Util.pm /root/.cpanplus/5.8.4/build/Scalar-List-Utils-1.18/lib/Scalar/Util.pm /usr/share/perl/5.8.4/Scalar/Util.pm -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.27skas Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages perl-base depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22sarge3 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an -- no debconf information -- Geoff Crompton Debian System Administrator Strategic Data +61 3 9340 9000 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
