Perl usually discourages this form, since if someone could convince $basepath to bstart with ">" it might do bad things.
Why not stick with this?
open APTDUMP, "-|", "$basepath/bin/apt-cache dump";
Still not super (since ugly basepaths with spaces can still fail), but a bit better and it works with both perls.
