+- updated to 2.24
+   see /usr/share/doc/packages/perl-XML-Simple/Changes
+
+  2.24      2017-04-17 16:12:00+12:00 Pacific/Auckland
+    - fix typo in last commit with mistakenly removed some underscores
+    - don't initialise $XML::Simple::PREFERRED_PARSER to undef as a caller may
+      have already set it before loading XML::Simple and if not, it would have
+      defaulted to undef anyway (RT#118205 from Slaven Rezić)
+  
+  2.23      2017-04-17 15:49:14+12:00 Pacific/Auckland
+    - another fix to the logic for detecting circular references (RT#114120 from
+      Matthias Pitzl, also report from Erland Sommarskog)
