Which gives us just under two weeks. There is:

718438 Shared references (threads::shared) disappear on sub return in perl
711206 double free in Digest::SHA[1]
710842 perlbug doesn't include locally-applied patch info[2]

as candidates (Niko, you weren't sure about [2], but if it is
non-invasive, it's probably worthwhile). [1] would need a coordinated
upload of libdigest-sha-perl (hence CC). I don't feel very strongly
about any of things, but together they probably make up a worthwhile
bundle of updates for wheezy. I'd be interested in other thoughts
for and against these (and of course for any other candidates I've
missed).

Cheers,
Dominic.
