script-uses-perl4-libs-without-dep

The named Perl script uses the named perl 4-era module, which is obsolete. Those libraries were deprecated in perl in 5.14, and will probably be removed from the core in perl 5.16.

Please remove the references to the module or add the prerequisite libperl4-corelibs-perl | perl (<< 5.12.3-7) to your package.

The tag is present in Lintian version 2.114.163. That is the most recent version we know about.

We use semantic versions. The patch number is a commit step indicator relative to the 2.114.0 release tag in our Git repository.

You can find the detection logic for this version at commit ca97c3a. For merge requests, please use the latest version in the Lintian check languages/perl/perl4/prerequisites.
