Bug#639353: libdevel-leak-perl: Does not call sv_dump(), even when used with debugperl

[Tim Cutts]

Package: libdevel-leak-perl
Version: 0.03-1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream patch


When run with debugperl, this module should call sv_dump() on the new
objects, but it does not.  This was also reported in the FreeBSD world,
and their patch fixes the problem on Debian also:
