Probably, although it might be more involved due to the complex
structure of the package (but I haven't tried).

Skipping the tests during build is also not optimal but I failed to
enable them successfully.

I think I found the problem:

(In a chroot after installing libsbml5-perl:)

# perl -e 'use LibSBML'
Can't locate loadable object for module LibSBML in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.26.2 /usr/local/share/perl/5.26.2 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.26 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.26 /usr/share/perl/5.26 /usr/local/lib/site_perl /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl-base) at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.26/LibSBML.pm line 11.

The directory with lower-case 'l' is created in
src/bindings/perl/CMakeLists.txt. I've now updated
debian/patches/perl-installdirs.patch to change it to (capital 'L')
LibSBML. Updated patch attached.

(Patch lightly tested, i.e. I rebuilt the package and installed it in
a chroot and run perl -e 'use LibSBML' successfully.)


Cheers,
