Bug#975998: licensecheck: Fails with a Perl problem

[Rock Storm]

Package: licensecheck
Version: 3.0.47-1

Control: severity -1 important

Dear Maintainer,

I found the very same issue as reported by Uwe on a just updated sid
machine. I've raised the severity of this bug because it renders the
program unusable (and it probably should be 'grave' instead). I'm not
able to check any files due to this.

Current status of 'perl-modules':

$ dpkg -l | grep perl-modules
ii  perl-modules-5.24  5.24.1-3+deb9u5  all  Core Perl modules
ii  perl-modules-5.32  5.32.0-5         all  Core Perl modules

As suggested, installing 'libpod-parser-perl' version 1.63-2 solves the
issue. So maybe 'licensecheck' should depend on it before it migrates to
stable?

Regards,
Rock
