use of constants.

Rating:             low

______________________________________________________________________________

   An update that has two recommended fixes can now be
   installed.

Description:

   If a constant is defined with the 'use constant' pragma,
   perl may crash later on when the constant is used as
   function argument (like in a print statement). Also, a bug
   in the h2ph translator was fixed that led to spurious
   warnings about _h2ph_pre.ph if 'perl -w' was used.
