Thanks for the report. The libtrycatch-perl test suite fails now,
as does the one in libdevel-declare-perl.

The issue seems to be in libdevel-declare-perl:
 https://rt.perl.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=123865

I've tested that applying the patch there to libdevel-declare-perl makes
your test script work again, and makes the libtrycatch-perl test suite
pass again too.
