Bug#787493: libapache2-mod-perl2 Perl 5.22 fixes entering experimental

[Niko Tyni]

Control: tag -1 patch pending

This bug is surprisingly quiet, so an update seems to be in order.

For quite some time, this issue has been the last real blocker for Perl
5.22 transition.

As seen in the upstream ticket [rt.cpan.org #101962], recent progress
upstream got us to a point where the test suite is passing, and we're
now waiting for the proposed patch to be cleaned up and committed.

I'm about to upload the proposed patch to experimental as 2.0.9-2 so we
can test it in our Perl 5.22 rebuilds.  Any other testing would be welcome
too. The patch does not have separate code paths for Perl 5.20 and 5.22,
so testing the actual 2.0.9-2 binary packages from experimental on
sid (still Perl 5.20 for now) would be just as useful.

I'm attaching the actual patch I'm using for completeness. It's unmodified
from the RT one except for line endings and -p0 -> -p1 conversion required
by dpkg v3.0 (quilt) source format.
