Subject:       SECURITY: New version of perl now available

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----


There is a critical security hole in perl (specifically /usr/bin/sperl*)
which affects all versions of Red Hat Linux. A new version, perl-5.003-8,
is now available for Red Hat Linux 4.0 and 4.1 for all platforms. If you
are running an earlier version of Red Hat, we strongly encourage you to
upgrade to 4.1 as soon as possible, as many critical security fixes have
been made. The new version of perl is PGP signed with the Red Hat PGP key.
Thanks to Chip Salzenberg for putting together this patch.

You may upgrade to the new version as follows:
