[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#832845: Update on base.pm breakage in jessie

[Dominic Hargreaves]

Hi all,

We are currently investiging a more general fix to these problems
with an update to the perl package. If this is successful, it will
probably be preferable to changing all of these packages (with potential
remaining unknown runtime issues and/or issues in user-supplied code,
even if this is very unlikely given how long the issue has been in Debian).
I'll send an update once we know whether this approach will work.

Cheers,
Dominic.
