Bug#494808: libdbd-xbase-perl: Prototype mismatch: sub XBase::Base::O_BINARY () vs none

[Paul Slootman]

Package: libdbd-xbase-perl
Version: 1:0.241-6
Severity: normal

libdbd-xbase-perl seems to have a problem with perl 5.10;
a simple no-brainer script as follows spews a warning message:

$ cat x.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl

use XBase;

$ perl x.pl
Prototype mismatch: sub XBase::Base::O_BINARY () vs none at (eval 4) line 1.
Constant subroutine O_BINARY redefined at (eval 4) line 1.


Some extra info:

ii  libdbd-xbase-perl            1:0.241-6                    Perl module to access xbase files (optionally through DBI)
ii  perl-base                    5.10.0-11.1                  The Pathologically Eclectic Rubbish Lister


Please fix this for lenny... perhaps the severity should be upped to
some RC value?

Thanks,
Paul Slootman
