Bug#656242: perl: .packlist file missing

[Marc Lehmann]

Package: perl
Version: 5.10.1-17squeeze2
Severity: normal


Neither perl, perl-base nor perl-moduels contain the .packlist file that is part
of a standard perl installation.

This file is needed when programs want to know which files belong to the
perl core, and which don't.

To reproduce, use:

   perl -e 'do ".packlist"'

on a working perl, this should cause lots of compiletime errors (Bareword
missing...) because the .packlist file is not valid perl.

On debian, because it is missing, you get no output.
