It looks to me like this is a real bug in HTML::Strip that only recently
started warning because the perl diagnostics improved.  Both the XS
(Strip.xs) and the Perl (Strip.pm) parts define a DESTROY function,
and the former presumably overrides the latter.

Apparently a perl change between wheezy (5.14) and jessie (5.20)
introduced the warning. I have a small test case and will bisect the
perl change at some point.
