Thanks, same here.

Seems like curl 7.52.1-1 moved the headers:

  * Another attempt at making -dev packages multi-arch.

and our libwww-curl-perl's Makefile.PL is bad at guessing the correct
include path.


Some looking around:

Makefile.PL adds $ARGV[0] to the @includes array, and `perl -I.
Makefile.PL /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu' works but passing it via

    dh_auto_configure -- $(INCLUDEDIR)

fails as that gets appended at the end:

dh_auto_configure -- /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu
	perl -I. Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=vendor "OPTIMIZE=-g -O2 -fdebug-prefix-map=/build/libwww-curl-perl-4.17=. -fstack-protector-strong -Wformat -Werror=format-security -Wdate-time -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2" "LD=x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc -g -O2 -fdebug-prefix-map=/build/libwww-curl-perl-4.17=. -fstack-protector-strong -Wformat -Werror=format-security -Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-z,now" /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu

So I guess patching Makefile.PL it is.
Ok, pushed to git, reviews welcome.


Cheers,
