Bug#657144: libunicode-string-perl: defined(%hash) is deprecated at /usr/lib/perl5/Unicode/CharName.pm line 80

[Justin B Rye]

Package: libunicode-string-perl
Version: 2.09-4+b2
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

This module emits an error if you so much as look at it:

 $ perl -e 'use Unicode::CharName;'
 defined(%hash) is deprecated at /usr/lib/perl5/Unicode/CharName.pm line 80.
         (Maybe you should just omit the defined()?)

Personally I'd prefer to follow the advice of the package description
and just use Perl 5.14's integrated Unicode support; but this module's
a dependency of wdg-html-validator and debian-edu-config, among other
things, and it's practically handing me the patch, so here it is.
