Hi,

I'd like to get Perl 5.44 in forky.

Perl 5.44 was released last summer and has been in experimental since
August. As usual, I've run rebuild testing and a couple of debci test
rounds with it. Bugs are at

  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?tag=perl-5.44-transition;users=debian-perl@lists.debian.org

Remaining blockers that I'm aware of:

- libdbd-pg-perl (#1151887): patch available, should be easy to fix

- polymake (#1148360): needs upstream work, no idea about the status

- libapp-stacktrace-perl (#1148361): dead upstream, RM candidate?

- libje-perl (#1148363): likewise

Can I upgrade these to serious?

Is it feasible to remove polymake from testing if it isn't fixed?
I'm not interested in working on it myself (mainly because of the
hardcoded refusal to even try to build with newer Perl versions.)

Thanks for your work on the release,
