Package: libuuid-perl
Version: 0.02-4
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Hi,

I would like to test perl 5.16, but linux-base depends on libuuid-perl
which depends on perlapi-5.14.2.

Now I can build libuuid-perl privately (and I have done exactly that),
but others in this situation might benefit from a pre-built binary in
experimental.  How about this patch?

Thanks,
Jonathan
