Well, yes, I'm not surprised that you see a problem if you undo the
patch in a local copy (or an install from CPAN?) of the file under
/usr/local :)


Can you please
- check that you have libfile-pid-perl 1.01-1 installed
- and look in /usr/share/perl5/File/Pid.pm ?

% head -123 /usr/share/perl5/File/Pid.pm | tail -2
    my $pid  = $self->_get_pid_from_file or return undef; 


Cheers,
gregor
