This package FTBFS with perl 5.18 from experimental (in a clean sbuild
session):

#   Failed test 'The class isa Bio::PrimerDesigner::Result'
#   at t/result.t line 20.
#     The class isn't a 'Bio::PrimerDesigner::Result' it's a ''
Can't locate object method "left" via package "Required design paramaters are missing" (perhaps you forgot to load "Required design paramaters are missing"?) at t/result.t line 22.
# Looks like you planned 3 tests but ran 2.
# Looks like you failed 1 test of 2 run.
# Looks like your test exited with 255 just after 2.
t/result.t ........... 
Dubious, test returned 255 (wstat 65280, 0xff00)
Failed 2/3 subtests 

Note also the following warnings which appear throughout:

Use of uninitialized value in lc at /build/dom-libbio-primerdesigner-perl_0.07-1

 244.

Use of each() on hash after insertion without resetting hash iterator results in undefined behavior, Perl interpreter: 0x8c8e008 at /build/dom-libbio-primerdesigner-perl_0.07-1-i386-DVHEtP/libbio-primerdesigner-perl-0.07/blib/lib/Bio/PrimerDesigner/primer3.pm line 109.
