Thanks for your bug report. Debian::Control uses Parse::DebControl (libparse-debcontrol-perl), and its documentation says: • "parse_file($control_filename,$options)" Takes a filename as a scalar • "parse_mem($control_data, $options)" Similar to "parse_file", except takes data as a scalar. and parse_file/parse_mem are used in Debian::Control. Apparently accepting filehandles doesn't work in Parse::DebControl; it looks like the documentation for Debian::Control::read is just incorrect, and I think all we can do is to fix the docs.
