I'm just astonished that there is another fix for that, as the "current" package in CentOS has this in the changelog: * Fri Aug 29 2008 Marcela Maslanova <mmaslano at redhat.com> - * 4:5.8.8-15.el5.1 - add upstream fix for bless/overload problem (changes 31996,32018,32019, 32025) and perl-5.8.8-bug24254.patch. Without this patch had bless poor performance. - Resolves: rhbz#460308 Cheers, Ralph -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
