>Description:
a2ps-j, installed by japanese/a2ps, generates the severe error warning as
$# is no longer supported at ./a2ps-j.orig line 195.
when executed in Perl 5.10.1.
>How-To-Repeat:
Running a2ps-j installed by japanese/a2ps
>Fix:
The portion which issues the warning is for debugging use only.
Since $# is no longer supported by Perl 5.10.1,
this should be simply removed as in the patch given.
