Bug#1042847: libstring-license-perl: broken with Perl 5.38: syntax error near "class String::License::Naming::Custom :"

[Niko Tyni]

Package: libstring-license-perl
Version: 0.0.2-1
Severity: important
Tags: ftbfs trixie sid
Forwarded: https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=148507
User: debian-perl at lists.debian.org
Usertags: perl-5.38-transition
Control: affects -1 licensecheck

Some modules in this package report syntax errors with Perl 5.38
(currently in experimental.)

This also makes the test suite fail, so the package fails to build
from source.

When this is fixed, please file a bug on the perl package
to add a Breaks entry for earlier versions so that partial
upgrades cannot end up with a broken combination.
