Bug#542669: libthreads-shared-perl: newer upstream release bundled with Perl 5.10.1

Package: libthreads-shared-perl
Version: 1.27-1
Severity: wishlist

There's threads-shared-1.31 on CPAN, and Perl 5.10.1 RC2 bundles 1.29.

I don't know why this wasn't done earlier, but perl/5.10.1~rc2-1 in
experimental now provides libthreads-shared-perl and conflicts with
earlier versions as usual for dual-lived modules. Please let me know if
this should be reverted for some reason.

This means that the package should be updated or it will become
uninstallable when perl 5.10.1 enters sid. The uninstallability will
also break one versioned reverse dependency, libthread-queue-perl.
