This warning also affects other packages: using libgraph-d3-perl currently
triggers it too, see #785031. For your convenience, I'm attaching a
patch with Kevin's suggested fix. I've tested that it fixes the issue
while keeping the test suite passing.

Please let me know if you'd like an NMU. The pkg-perl group is also
happy to adopt the package in case you don't want to maintain it anymore.

Thanks for your work on Debian,
