I agree, not Debian specific, but reporting of bugs in so-called "old" versions of libsql-statement-perl [SQL::Statement]] (even though the bugs are in in stable here) are strongly discouraged by the package maintainer at CPAN.<br>

Hi:<br>
<br>
I'm not sure why all this discussion is happening on the Debian list.<br>
I've not seen much that has been discussed that is Debian-specific.<br>
<br>
Note that unstable has version 1.22 of this module, which is the most<br>
recent version as upstream. Debian users can always install older<br>
versions of the package if they so choose (see the apt-get manpage).<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
Jonathan<br>
