forwarded 503832 dsima...@sql-ledger.org severity 503832 important thanks Hello,
I put Dieter Simader in copy so that he can give us his opinion on this bug. Dieter, the full history of the bug is at http://bugs.debian.org/503832 It looks like yet another problem that appeared with the switch to perl 5.10. Richard found a work-around/fix for this bug. Can you check it out and integrate a proper fix in sql-ledger upstream ?

I put Dieter in copy now so that we have a chance to have this fixed.
