Package : libxml-atom-perl

ressources, depending on how the library is used.
For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
version 0.37-1+squeeze1.
For the testing distribution (wheezy) and the unstable distribution
(sid), this problem has been fixed in version 0.39-1.
We recommend that you upgrade your libxml-atom-perl packages.
