Hi Russ, do you think we should backport this to Debian / Perl 5.24
for stretch? The resulting build failures have been sorted out some
time ago, but I guess there's a chance of user code breaking and so forth.
Alternatively, 5.24.1 still isn't out upstream so I guess there might
be a chance of getting that change in there and rippling from there
to stretch as well...
Thanks for your work as always,
