[PVE-User] Strange Perl warning on PVE 3.2 node

[Thomas Lamprecht]

Hi,

simply make a reboot, this is a small, uncritical, but quite annoying 
"bug" where the fix wasn't backported to 3.2 when it was discovered (out 
of date).

3.4 should fix this completely, also 4.0+. But as it occurs only about 
after 2-3 Years uptime you should have been able to upgrade until then, 
hopefully :)

cheers,
Thomas
