Debian Bug     : 742262 742265

It was discovered that the recent file update, DSA-2873-1, introduced a
regression in the recognition of Perl scripts containing BEGIN code
blocks.

For the oldstable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
version 5.04-5+squeeze5.

For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in
version 5.11-2+deb7u3.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you upgrade your file packages.
