Binary package hint: libnet-patricia-perl

Patricia.pm fails to compile when a script using it is run with "perl -w".

1) Environment
% lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Release: 10.04

2) Package version
% apt-cache policy libnet-patricia-perl
libnet-patricia-perl:
  Installed: 1.15-1
  Candidate: 1.15-1
  Version table:
 *** 1.15-1 0
        500 http://fi.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/universe Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

3) Expected behaviour
Should be able to use "#!perl -w" in scripts using Net::Patricia.

4) Observed behaviour
% perl -w -Mstrict -MNet::Patricia -e ''
Use of uninitialized value $3 in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/lib/perl5/Net/Patricia.pm line 34.

Giving a warning when using -w should not make the module unusable.
If that is too annoying, using "use warnings;" instead of the "-w"
option should hide the warning as well.

Given that this is fixed in 1.16 (already in maverick), I don't think
there is a need for a SRU for this bug.

Thanks a lot. This is fixed in 1.16.
