Description of problem:
Due to a change in perl syntax for Perl 5.14 and onwards, the use of qw(...) in
specific contexts is now disallowed.  This generates lots of messages of the
form:
Use of qw(...) as parentheses is deprecated at
/usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/IPTables/ChainMgr.pm line 158.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
perl-IPTables-ChainMgr-0.9-8.fc16.noarch
perl-5.14.2-191.fc16.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Found from "psad -S" but possible from any use of routine.
2.
3.

Actual results:
Numerous messages about deprecated feature.

Expected results:
No deprecated messages

Additional info:
Reading some of the perl list this only occurs in statements of the form:
for my $var qw(...) { ... }
and is fixed by the addition of "()", i.e.
for my $var (qw(...)) { ... }
