Bug#722332: libcommon-sense-perl: common::sense runs into trouble with Perl 5.18, eg. no say().

Package: libcommon-sense-perl
Version: 3.72-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Dear maintainer,
I just noticed that, upon upgrading to Perl 5.18.1-3 (Debian testing),
common::sense stopped having some:
$ perl -Mcommon::sense -e 'say "hi";'
syntax error at -e line 1, near "say "hi""
Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.
On another machine with Perl 5.14 still installed and the same version
of libcommon-sense-perl (3.72-1) it's still the same friendly response:
$ perl -Mcommon::sense -e 'say "hi";'
hi
So, *something* happened upon upgrading, although I'm currently at a
loss (of time, mainly) to specify what exactly. Surely I messed
something up and everything's working fine for everybody else?
Thank you!
Regards,
Hagen
