to be recompiled.  Additionally, since DB_File now links against db4,
any existing databases will need to be upgraded with db4.0_upgrade (or
unloaded and reloaded).

The staging area has been created to allow developers to check that
their affected package work with the new perl and are encouraged to
upload or NMU the resulting packages to auric.debian.org:~bod/incoming
to facilitate further testing.

    # ~/.dupload.conf:
    $config::cfg{'perl-staging'} = {
	fqdn => 'auric.debian.org',
	method => 'scpb',
	incoming => '/home/bod/incoming/',
	dinstall_runs => 1,
    };

    # ~/.dput.cf [untested]
    [perl-staging]
    fqdn = auric.debian.org
    incoming = /home/bod/incoming
    method = scp

A build dependency on perl (>= 5.8.0-3) should be declared for any
uploads to ensure that the buildds will install the new perl packages
before building these modules.

All packages uploaded will be moved en masse into the standard incoming
directory after a testing period (probably a week or two).

Currently there are perl packages built for the i386, powerpc and sparc
architectures.  Porters for other architectures may wish to verify that
these packages build on their platform and upload to the staging are if
they wish.
