Como sappiamo da Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope in poi questi aggiornamenti con buon criterio sono rilasciati con una cadenza settimanale da Canonical.
Specificamente gli aggiornamenti riguardano le librerie Perl, il server VNC per Gnome e la utility di masterizzazione installata di default.

This package is required by programs which embed a Perl interpreter to ensure that the correct version of `perl-base' is installed.
It additionally contains the shared Perl library on architectures where the perl binary is linked to libperl.a (currently only i386, for performance reasons).
In other cases the actual library is in the `perl-base' package.

An interpreted scripting language, known among some as "Unix's Swiss Army Chainsaw".
Perl is optimised for scanning arbitrary text files and system administration.
It has built-in extended regular expression matching and replacement, a data-flow mechanism to improve security with setuid scripts and is extensible via modules that can interface to C libraries.

Perl is a scripting language used in many system scripts and utilities.
This package provides a Perl interpreter and the small subset of the standard run-time library required to perform basic tasks. For a full Perl installation, install "perl" (and its dependencies, "perl-modules" and "perl-doc").

Architecture independent Perl modules.
These modules are part of Perl and required if the `perl' package is installed.
Note that this package only exists to save archive space and should be considered an internal implementation detail of the `perl' package. Other packages should not depend on `perl-modules' directly, they should use `perl' (which depends on `perl-modules') instead.
