[Bug 1212008] Re: Perl fix needed

[Robie Basak]

OK, thanks. I guess we'll need to leave this for 13.04 unless someone
else is affected by this bug and is willing to volunteer to see it
through being fixed in the archive. In the meantime, I guess the fix is
trivial enough that others will be able to find this bug and modify
their affected systems manually, so I appreciate you documenting this
issue in this bug.

** Description changed:

+ [Status]
+ 
+ Believed to affect 13.04 only. Fixed in the development version and thus
+ in subsequent releases, as fixed in upstream 7.1.1.
+ 
+ 13.04 status: can be fixed with SRU as a trivial patch is available, but
+ this bug currently lacks a volunteer to take the fix through the SRU
+ procedure. If you'd like to do this, please go through the steps
+ documented at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Procedure and
+ do ask in the bug if you need any help.

+ [Original Description]

  The currently shipping awstats is incompatible with perl 5.14.  A fix
  was applied (correctly) in awstats 7.1.1.

  I manually applied the change (adding a caret in the expression) and now
  am getting all the expected data rather than having the majority
  missing.
