Bug#579577: libdevel-cover-perl: FTBFS when the build dir contains regexp metacharacters (breaks binNMUs?)

[Niko Tyni]

Package: libdevel-cover-perl
Version: 0.66-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch
User: debian-perl at lists.debian.org
Usertags: perl-5.12-transition

The test suite fails when the build directory path contains regexp
metacharacters. This breaks binNMUing the package at least in my (more
or less default) sbuild setup because the '+b1' version suffix ends up
in the build directory name.

Example:

% pwd
/home/niko/tmp/test+dir/libdevel-cover-perl-0.66
% perl -Iblib/lib -Iblib/arch t/atrivial.t            
1..32
