Thanks. However, on second thought, all those modules are going to be
binNMU'd for the upcoming Perl 5.12 transition anyway. So, assuming
that's really happening in a month or so, it's probably enough unless
somebody reports actual breakage.

It's also possible that this affects some packages in squeeze, as the
bug was introduced in 2010-12-11. Although the bug itself never reached
squeeze, some packages may have been built with the bug in unstable and
then transitioned to testing. I expect the number of those to be just
a handful at most because of the late stage of the freeze.
