What's new in Debian GNU/Linux 3.1

Binary-compatibility for Perl Modules

This release breaks binary compatibility with previous versions of Perl. Users will need to re-build any locally installed binary (XS) modules.

DB_File now uses libdb4.0 (previously libdb2). Any DB_File databases created with earlier perl packages will need to be upgraded before being used with the current module with the db4.0_upgrade program (in the libdb4.0-util package).
