Package: libwww-curl-perl
Version: 4.17-5
Severity: serious
Tags: upstream patch ftbfs
Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)
As seen on [1], libwww-curl-perl fails to build in current unstable. Currently
this impedes the perl transition to 5.30.

Curl.xs:76:12: error: expected ‘{’ before ‘void’
76 | struct void *curlm;
| ^~~~
The reasons seems to be that 'CURL' is defined as 'void' and 'struct CURL' is
no longer a valid type.
The patch below seems to fix the build.
I won't be able to upload a fixed package until tomorrow, so if somebody else
from the group has the time - please go ahead.
