Bug#930671: libauthen-radius-perl: most basic usage stopped working

[Ferenc Wágner]

Package: libauthen-radius-perl
Version: 0.29-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I recently upgraded to buster and noticed that our RADIUS test plugin
does not work anymore.  Downgrading libauthen-radius-perl to 0.27-1
fixes the issue.  Take the first example from the top of the man page:

  use Authen::Radius;
  $r = new Authen::Radius(Host => 'myserver', Secret => 'mysecret');
  print "auth result=", $r->check_pwd('myname', 'mypwd'), "\n";

If I substitute the correct IPv4 address, secret, user name and password
into the above, the result is 1 (success) with 0.27-1, but upgrading to
0.29-1 gives an error message instead:

  unknown attr name 1 at /usr/share/perl5/Authen/Radius.pm line 865.

There might be a workaround via using the lower level operations instead
of the check_pwd method, but I haven't found it yet.  Please advise.
