irssi fails to run with perl5.14.1-1

using irssi 0.8.15 on parabola (Archlinux) OS 86_64.

after upgrading perl to perl5.14.1-1 I get the following error when trying to load irssi: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/auto/HTML/Parser/Parser.so: undefined symbol: Perl_Istack_sp_ptr

when I upgraded perl it had the following warning:

• The directories /usr/lib/perl5/current, /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/current, /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.1, and /usr/share/perl5/site_perl/5.10.1 have been removed from @INC.
• The script/binary directories are now /usr/bin/_perl instead of /usr/lib/perl5/_perl/bin which will be eventually removed.

I assume Irssi needs to be patched to point to the new lib locations.

I assume you've rebuilt irssi against the upgraded perl?

Recompiling Irssi with the correct Perl library resolves the issue.
