Updating CGI::Session which emits warnings

[simon andrews]

Since Nov 2011 there has been a bug open against the perl-CGI-Session package which started emitting a warning about:

Use of qw(...) as parentheses is deprecated at /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/CGI/Session.pm line 882.

when this was added as a standard check in perl.  The original bug was:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=754689

..and there is now also:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=782599

…which is the same thing.

Both bugs contain a minimal patch to fix this issue, and it's also resolved in the latest upstream release of the package.

Since we've had no luck contacting the package maintainer to get this fixed would it be possible for someone in the perl-sig with the appropriate permissions to either apply one of the patches, or just bump the module up to the latest release in all of the current fedora branches to get this problem fixed please?

Many thanks for any help anyone can offer.

Cheers

Simon.
