Package: libvcs-cvs-perl
Version: 0.14.4
File: /usr/share/perl5/VCS/Cvs/Version.pm
Problem description: invoking VCS::Cvs:Version::diff subroutine (perl
code example placed below) ends in process death
Error message: "sh: chdir: command not found" during program execution
Reason: in the row 51 of the module string assumed to be executed by
shell contains perl call 'chdir' instead of a shell command 'cd'.
I notified the CPAN maintainer of the VCS module.
Patch for a Version.pm is also provided below.
