To avoid any issue about global vs. local vs. "blib" paths that I've
run into before with Perl software rather than running that test
directly with prove I applied this against 2.6.3 from unstable,
applied your previously-attached patch and built the entire Debian
package (which naturally ran full testsuite) …

… but alas I could not reproduce this failure in my own (non-reprotest)
reproducible testing harness.
