Package: perl
Version: 5.22.1~rc3-1
Severity: serious
Tags: upstream patch
X-Debbugs-Cc: Russ Allbery <rra at debian.org>

This package failed to build on ppc64el and mips64el:

  cpan/podlators/t/devise-date .................................. #   Failed test 'devise_date matches strftime'
  #   at t/devise-date.t line 20.
  #          got: '2015-12-04'
  #     expected: '2015-12-05'
  # Looks like you failed 1 test of 6.
  FAILED at test 1
  
This is because we now set SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH to the latest
debian/changelog time stamp, and those builds happened on the next day.

Turns out the backported SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH support from podlators-4.00
doesn't itself survive being build with SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH (or
POD_MAN_DATE, for that matter) set. Patch attached.
