Testing with the new testcases in CGI.pm-3.62, CVE-2012-5526 (CGI.pm
newline injection in Set-Cookie and P3P headers) affects all of squeeze,
wheezy, and sid.

The attached patch should apply to the wheezy and sid versions; squeeze
may need some backporting at least for the testcases, and the perl package
needs filename modifications due to the different directory structure.

The sid and wheezy versions of libcgi-pm-perl have diverged, so
I suppose this needs to go in wheezy via tpu.

The perl status in wheezy/sid is waiting for #692294; we'll see
if this needs a separate upload.

Security team: do you want DSAs for stable or should this rather be
fixed via SRM/proposed-updates?
