RHBA-2013:0838 - perl-XML-Dumper bug fix update

Synopsis

perl-XML-Dumper bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated perl-XML-Dumper package that fixes one bug is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The perl-XML-Dumper package provides the XML::Dumper module that allows converting Perl objects to XML format. XML::Dumper can also read XML data that was previously dumped by the module and convert it back to Perl objects. To ensure their correct behavior, the Perl objects should be converted and reconstituted in the same environment. When installed along with the Compress::Zlib module, XML::Dumper can also dump data to, and read data from, a compressed file with the ".xml.gz" extension.

This update fixes the following bug:

• The XML::Dumper module could not be used due to a missing dependency to the XML::Parser module. This update adds the required dependency to the perl-XML-Dumper spec file and XML::Dumper can now be used as expected. (BZ#652833)

Users of perl-XML-Dumper are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes this bug.
