Summary 0003022: perl-5.8.8-10.el5_2.3.rpm compiled without weak references
Description The latest version of perl was compiled without references. This is a change from previous versions and seems to be a mistake. Many CPAN modules are now useless.

perl -e "use Scalar::Util 'weaken';"
Weak references are not implemented in the version of perl at -e line 1
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at -e line 1.

 Works here:

root@jumper:~# rpm -q perl
perl-5.8.8-10.el5_2.3.i386
root@jumper:~# perl -e "use Scalar::Util 'weaken';"
root@jumper:~#

The spec file diff is as follows:

[angenenr@shutdown SPECS]$diff perl.spec.0 perl.spec
8c8
< %define perlrel 10%{?dist}.2
---
> %define perlrel 10%{?dist}.3

> * Tue Jun 3 2008 Marcela Maslanova <mmaslano@redhat.com> - 4:5.8.8-10.el5.3
> - CVE-2008-1927 perl: double free on regular expressions with utf8 characters
> - Resolves: #449323
>

So I don't see where the difference to perl-5.8.8-10.el5_0.2 should be in there.

[root@localhost SOURCES]# perl -e "use Scalar::Util 'weaken';"

 Problem on my end, tried it from another machine and I'm not having the problem. Someone here must having manually installed something from the CPAN. Sorry.
