Bug#825425: pdl: FTBFS with Perl 5.24: t/pptest.t has $^W as binary

[Niko Tyni]

Package: pdl
Version: 1:2.007-5
Severity: important
User: debian-perl at lists.debian.org
Usertags: perl-5.24-transition

This package fails to build on Perl 5.24 (currently in experimental).

  Unrecognized character \x17; marked by <-- HERE after { local $<-- HERE near column 10 at t/pptest.t line 69.
  # Looks like you planned 24 tests but ran 1.
  # Looks like your test exited with 2 just after 1.
  t/pptest.t .................. 
  1..24
  ok 1 - PP deprecation should emit warnings
  Dubious, test returned 2 (wstat 512, 0x200)
  Failed 23/24 subtests 

It looks like t/pptest.t has $^W as $ (ASCII 23).  This syntax was
deprecated in Perl 5.22 and removed in Perl 5.24. See
 http://search.cpan.org/~rjbs/perl-5.24.0/pod/perldelta.pod#ASCII_characters_in_variable_names_must_now_be_all_visible
