Package: libpod-webserver-perl
Version: 3.0.4-1.2
Severity: serious
Tags: patch
Justification: FTBFS

After fixing #467279 (I'll post the patch right away), your package
still FTBFS with Perl 5.10. What happens here is that, with Perl 5.10,
a (long-time flawed) misfeature of ExtUtils::MakeMaker was finally
removed: Empty directories are no longer created. So, your rmdir was
failing as /usr/lib/perl5 didn't exist.

I am uploading a package fixing this bug, #467279 and #481959 to the
5-day delayed queue.

This is the third NMU your package has received since the only upload
you made, in December 2006 - Please consider handing the package over
to the pkg-perl group or, in any case, orphaning it.

The patch for this specific bug is:
