Official patch from the perl foundation: "Perl patches fix sprintf buffer overflow" at http://www.perlfoundation.org/news/2005/sprintf_patch_released.html

I've modified the PKGBUILD to use this patch and to use the latest Sys::Syslog which was modified to help mitigate format string attacks.

Also a good opportunity to fix  bug 3508  and switch to DB_File 1.814.
