Bug#825609: libnet-snpp-perl: FTBFS with Perl 5.24: t/server.t failure

[Niko Tyni]

Package: libnet-snpp-perl
Version: 1.17-4
Severity: important
User: debian-perl at lists.debian.org
Usertags: perl-5.24-transition
Forwarded: https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=111013

This package fails to build with Perl 5.24 (currently in experimental.)
According to the upstream ticket, this is due to a change in libnet 3.08.
