These were just simple patches which had not been applied and included all the patches available. We don't use Sun's apache or perl and are careful not to for this very reason. (Ditto sendmail, but that isn't relevant to this issue). The other possibility is that the server might not have been rebooted, and therefore apache not restarted, since Christmas so some perl modules might have changed in the mean time, but not been loaded since they changed. I have to check that.
