Yes. The libraries have been moved to the multiarch directories
(/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ and the like) in eglibc 2.13-5, and perl
now needs a rebuild.

A binNMU should be sufficient to get the multiarch directories into the
perl search path (perl -V:libpth), it's just been dropping the directories
until now because they didn't exist at build time.

Release team: could you please schedule

nmu perl_5.12.3-7 . ALL . -m "Rebuild against new libc to pick up multiarch directories"

Thanks,
