Package: autoconf
Version: 2.61-7
Severity: minor

This is not really a bug, but this makes the code quite strange and
probably not very maintainable. /usr/bin/autom4te contains:

  foreach my $file (map { $_ . $req->id } ($tcache, $ocache))
    {
      use File::Copy;
      move ("${file}t", "$file")
        or fatal "cannot rename ${file}t as $file: $!";
    }

The "use File::Copy;" should be at the beginning of the script
because it is global[*] (and is also there for the second "move"
in the script).

[*] It is equivalent to the form:

  BEGIN { require Module; Module->import( LIST ); }
