I think the right fix would be in Module::CoreList. Luckily we 
maintain libmodule-corelist-perl and dh-make-perl already depends on 
it. A fix may be propagated upstream in the next point release (and 
end up in perl-modules).

I assume (and this worked so far) that each module in 
/usr/{share,lib}/perl/$version is a core one. If this not true, then 
we just can't do anything but trust Module::CoreList and t/corelist.t 
shall be rewritten to simply check a couple of modules we know are 
core ones instead of going over the directories.

I somehow that Module::CoreList is wrong here, so this better be fixed 
there upstream (and patched in libmodule-correlist-perl until upstream 
releases a fixed dist).
