Description:

New perl 0.5.12 breaks irssi

Additional info:

pacman -Q perl irssi
perl 5.12.0-1
irssi 0.8.15-1

Steps to reproduce:

Run irssi after the recent perl bump to 0.5.12, it will crap out and print a stack trace (I can paste it partially but somehow my terminal does not allow me to scroll up for the beginning of this trace):

Afgebroken

Solution:

Rebuilding irssi on the new perl fixes it.
