Interesting.. I didn't know 3.1.x was affected at all, I thought only 3.2.1 was... And doing some tests, 3.1.8 isn't affected, but 3.1.9 is.
Looks like someone backported the bug when 3.1.9 went out, and we've never back-ported the fix. That said 3.1.9 fails allow tell AND freezes up at the allow_user_rules bit, 3.1.10 only fails in the allow tell part. So 3.1.10 is a bit less severely broken than 3.1.9 is. I guess since 3.1.9 is already broken, and this is actually less broken, and it's a security fix, I'm +1 on this release. However, I make that +1 with the strong recomendation that we need to get a 3.1.11 out sometime soon that actually builds properly under CPAN. I understand the need to get security fixes out quickly, but shipping releases with broken build processes is seriously bad. Breaking the build process might be a reasonable short-term tradeoff to get security fixes out faster, but it isn't a reasonable long-term tradeoff.
