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
