[Pkg-monitoring-maintainers] Bug#932858: mon monitors failing on recent perl

[Ricardo Signes]

As of v5.32 these monitors definitely don't work.  As a previous poster noted, they're calling "&hostname", which will pass in the call arguments from the call site (propagating @_) which means they might fail.  And these calls are sometimes inside of eval{} meaning the error is lost and it seems like things worked.

Seems it may affect: imap.monitor, nntp.monitor, pop3.monitor, smtp.monitor

I'll look at sending a patch upstream, but I think mon is pretty stable these days.  It'd be nice to see this fixed in Debian if possible.
