Version: 1.081-1
User: debian-perl at lists.debian.org
Usertags: perl-5.14-transition

This package contain code using the perl module Switch, which is
deprecated and will be removed from the core in perl 5.14 (currently
in experimental).

$ grep -r 'use Switch' .
./examples/downloader.pl:use Switch;

Please consider not using this deprecated module, or Depend/Build-Depend
as appropriate on:

libswitch-perl | perl (<< 5.10.1-13)

Switch statements (given/when) have been added to the core:
<http://perldoc.perl.org/perlsyn.html#Switch-statements>

Thanks,
Dominic.
