Hi Niko Tyni found to that Math-Random-Mt fails to build from source with Perl 5.12.0 configured to use long doubles. Please see [1] in the Debian Bugtracker for his report, attached too below.
This seems to show up too from CPAN testers, for some reports, eg [2].

Failed 1/3 subtests This almost certainly happens because 5.12.0-1 is configured to use long doubles (-Duselongdouble).
