Bug#451619: libmime-perl: new upstream version available

[Niko Tyni]

Package: libmime-perl
Version: 5.420-2
Severity: wishlist

Version 5.424 is available on CPAN. It's not caught by debian/watch,
because it's now under a different author.

It should be noted that there's at least one backward incompatibility:

5.420_01  2007-06-18  Dave O'Neill <dmo at roaringpenguin.com>

    * (cleanup) Remove support for recycling tempfiles ( tmp_recycling()
      and its usage in new_tmpfile() )

This breaks rt-mailgate in request-tracker3.6 (<< 3.6.5, already updated
in lenny) and request-tracker3.4 (which is being removed from Debian).
It's also mentioned in the SOAP::Packager documentation, inside the
Debian soap-lite package.

This is probably going to hit some user programs as well.

I just filed CPAN #30797 about this, pleading that the method would
be restored as a no-op or similar. If that isn't succesful, I suppose
that at least a NEWS.Debian entry would be in order.
