Bug#958789: libmodule-manifest-skip-perl: FTBFS and unusable: Can't locate object method "_install_subs"

[Niko Tyni]

Source: libmodule-manifest-skip-perl
Version: 0.23-1
Severity: grave
Tags: bullseye sid ftbfs

This package fails to build from source on current sid/amd64.
The whole module seems to be unusable.

Looking at the test build history at

  https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/libmodule-manifest-skip-perl.html

this probably regressed between 2020-04-11 and 2020-04-15,
which coincides with the upload of libmoo-perl_2.004000-1.

Even rudimentary autopkgtest checks would have caught this and prevented
libmoo-perl from transitioning to testing if it caused the regression.
Please consider adding some, preferably by making the autopkgtest-pkg-perl
checks work.
