Package: libhighlight-perl
Version: 3.5-3+b1
Severity: important

joey@gnu:~>perl -e 'use highlight; $data_dir=new highlight::DataDir(); 
$data_dir->searchDataDir("")'
Bizarre copy of UNKNOWN in subroutine entry at -e line 1.

This worked until perl 5.14. This code is used in ikiwiki, which is now
broken when highlight is enabled. I don't personally understand what
this code is supposed to do; David Bremner wrote it. But
/usr/share/doc/libhighlight-perl/examples/testmod.pl contains similar code,
and similarly crashes.

perldiag is not very helpful:

       Bizarre copy of %s in %s
           (P) Perl detected an attempt to copy an internal
           value that is not copiable.
