Comment 23 for bug 364630

Update on clutter-perl for anyone following. The new version is currently FTBFS on Karmic. I emailed upstream about this on Wed, 16 Sep 2009. No reply yet. Debian seems to be having the same issue even with the older version. The problem happens when attempting to generate the PODs. Possibly an issue with comparability with our version of perl?
