Package: bash
Version: 3.1dfsg-8
Severity: normal
As of the version of bash in etch, perl [opts] <tab> does not complete
possible filenames.
I'm not pretending to understand how bash tab completion works, but
having examined the diff of /etc/bash_completion between sarge and etch,
reverting the change:

}
-complete -F _perl $default perl
+complete -F _perl $filenames perl
_perldoc()

seems to fix the problem for me.
(a workaround for other wanting to fix this issue in the interim, without
having to delve into the monolithic file, is the following:
echo 'complete -F _perl $default perl' > /etc/bash_completion.d/fix-perl
)
