openSUSE Recommended Update: perl: This update fixes a crash caused by the use of constants. ______________________________________________________________________________ Announcement ID: openSUSE-RU-2010:0472-1 Rating: low References: #621856 #624628 Affected Products: openSUSE 11.3 ______________________________________________________________________________ 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.
