cloc reports deprecated function usage oneiric

[Chris R. Jones]

Binary package hint: cloc

On oneiric, cloc is reporting its using a deprecated function. Or more precisely, perl is reporting this (but cloc is using a deprecated function and perhaps shouldn't be.)

For example, running cloc against a random C file in my project:

% cloc dalunit/dalunit.c
defined(%hash) is deprecated at /usr/bin/cloc line 1277.
        (Maybe you should just omit the defined()?)
       1 text file.
       1 unique file.
       0 files ignored.
