well, I was puzzled at the delay - I'd been tracking this since the first report, thinking that getting a package update would be the most reliable way to duplicate the problem. Yesterday I downloaded perl 5.18.1 and built that for testing this problem (as well as verifying that vile's perl.xs was not affected). I didn't see any additional fixes (including compiler warnings) that I should make to cdk-perl, so I marked that as 20130816. There was some outage on my ISP yesterday; I've uploaded the version with this patch. Later when I'm done with my changes to cdk, I may update this package for fixes as needed. -- Thomas E.
