How about this patch?
I advise against doing this - the perl packages in experimental are liable to change without notice and coordinating binary rebuilds of packages against perlapi-5.16 into experimental is not where we want to be. In general you'd end up filing hundreds of these wishlist bugs. To test perl 5.16, please either rebuild dependencies locally or use my unofficial rebuild repository (I'll take a look at updating that before long - there are probably uninstallable packages there at the moment - the freeze will hopefully help with this). http://lists.debian.org/debian-perl/2012/06/msg00013.html Thanks for helping with perl 5.16 testing! -- Dominic Hargreaves | http://www.larted.org.uk/~dom/ PGP key 5178E2A5 from the.earth.li (keyserver,web,email) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
