The attached patch changes the global 'use v5.14' to 'use v5.18'
instead so that the package-level 'use v5.18' is not needed anymore.
I've checked that it fixes the immediate issue.

I can't see any use of the new features that get enabled with this,
as described in perl5160delta or perl5180delta. I suppose it's still
possible that this breaks something. It does pass the test suite
though. Unfortunately there are no rdeps in the Debian archive to test
against.

Tentatively tagging 'patch'. Hope this helps.
