When building libwx-perl for Sid, I see lots of these warnings:

Print.c: In function 'void boot_Wx__Print(PerlInterpreter*, CV*)':
Print.c:3885: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to 'char*'
Print.c:3890: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to 'char*'
Print.c:3891: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to 'char*'
Print.c:3892: warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to 'char*'

There are about 4500 warning lines produced for this package.  I initially
thought it was a problem with libwx-perl upstream, but the author
mentioned it was in fact a problem with xsubpp.

Regards,
