+ Thanks for the kind words about When -- I'm glad you like it. Are
+ you active on slashdot? I seem to remember the sig.
+
+ Since When is all pure perl, and doesn't depend on any libraries at
+ all, the fact that you can get it crash has to indicate a problem
+ with the version of perl packaged with this version of ubuntu. I'd
+ report it via ubuntu's bug reporting web site:
+ https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu
+ It actually sounds like the file /_h2ph_pre.ph, which is part of
+ perl, has an error in it (or is incompatible with the new version
+ of ubuntu).
+
+ Regards,
