[Andreas Metzler]

reassign 479957 perl-base
found 479957 5.10.0-10
retitle 479957 Using IO::File together with POSIX causes warnings. (Constant subroutine main::SEEK_SET redefined)

# Hello,
# 
# I am no perl guru, but I do not think this is a eximstats problem:
# 
# (SID)ametzler at argenau:/tmp$ perl -w -e 'use IO::File;use POSIX;'
# Constant subroutine main::SEEK_SET redefined at -e line 1
# Constant subroutine main::SEEK_END redefined at -e line 1
# Constant subroutine main::SEEK_CUR redefined at -e line 1
#
# This is in a minimal sid chroot with almost no perl installed:
# (SID)ametzler at argenau:/tmp$ dpkg -l '*perl*' | grep ^ii
# ii  liblocale-gettext-perl  1.05-4
# ii  perl-base               5.10.0-10

# Reassigning.
thanks
