This is correct. We (as in the perl maintainers and the pkg-perl team) caught most of these issues before 5.22 hit unstable, unfortunately we missed a couple, and we're already on our way to report bugs/prepare NMUs for the remaining few packages. Repurposing this bug report for geneweb which doesn't have a bug filed yet. Cheers, gregor -- .''`.
