Hi Niko, Dominic,
Please find attached a prospective patch for perl that would annotate the
perlapi provides for perl-base after a 64-bit time_t transition for 32-bit
architectures, on perl 5.36.0. I've tested that this does what's expected,
both for the Provides: of perl-base and the behavior of dh_perl.
It tries to retain compatibility with perlapi-5.36.0 on architectures where
this is appropriate (64-bit architectures + i386); it covers Debian release
architectures + riscv64, but does not attempt to be complete for all
architectures dpkg knows about. This is entirely optional anyway, as perl
5.38 is just around the corner, at which point this patch should be dropped
completely (assuming time_t lands before perl 5.38 does).
Regards,
