Bug#702416: perl: memory leak in Encode::decode

[Niko Tyni]

Package: perl
Version: 5.14.2-18
Severity: important
Tags: fixed-upstream
Control: found -1 5.10.1-17squeeze5 
Forwarded: https://github.com/dankogai/p5-encode/issues/8

As discussed in <https://github.com/dankogai/p5-encode/issues/8>
this leaks memory:

 perl -MEncode=decode -E 'eval { decode("UTF-8", "\x89", 1) } while 1'

Fixed in Encode-2.49 and a candidate for perl-5.14.4.
