SQL::Statement unusable in major Linux distributions

[Jonathan Yu]

Hi:

I'm not sure why all this discussion is happening on the Debian list.
I've not seen much that has been discussed that is Debian-specific.

Note that unstable has version 1.22 of this module, which is the most
recent version as upstream. Debian users can always install older
versions of the package if they so choose (see the apt-get manpage).

Cheers,

Jonathan
