Bug#581943: sympa: perl-suid is going away with Perl 5.12

[Jonas Smedegaard]

Hi Niko (and others),

On Mon, May 17, 2010 at 02:14:13PM +0300, Niko Tyni wrote:

Perl 5.12 (currently in experimental) removed support for suidperl,
and the perl-suid package is therefore going to be removed too.

As this package Depends on perl-suid, it will therefore become
uninstallable when Perl 5.12 enters sid.

It is not yet decided whether this will happen for squeeze or not,
but please move away from perl-suid as soon as possible.

Thanks for the warning.



Regards,

 - Jonas

Would you happen to have some suggestions on how perlsuid could be avoided? Perhaps a reference to some "common implementation patterns" or something?
