This is fatal in Perl 5.26 (currently in experimental), making the test
suite fail. However, the package still builds, probably because the
for loop in debian/rules doesn't abort on errors.

Raising to 'important', but I guess this shouldn't block the transition.

A full build log is available at

  http://perl.debian.net/rebuild-logs/perl-5.26-throwaway/libsyntax-highlight-engine-simple-languages-perl_2/libsyntax-highlight-engine-simple-languages-perl_2_amd64-2017-05-21T14%3A41%3A50Z.build

and the server also hosts an unofficial repository of packages binNMU'd for Perl
5.26 that can be used for testing purposes; see <http://perl.debian.net/>.
