Packet-Original-Timestamp as I explained before is *only* created by the detail reader, when it reads a packet back into the server.

Event-Timestamp was not automatically created by the preprocess module in 2.2.x but is in 3.0.0.

If you provide a backtrace && more debug we can probably fix the issue with rlm_perl.
