Hi, I'm sorry about that. I don't think either of us noticed the
failure in the experimental upload in September. It's easy to miss
failures of non-release architectures, given how often transient issues
arise. If I understand that bug correctly, there's a workaround that
you would be able to apply on the buildds - is that correct?

I filed #974004 to track this on the perl side.

Thanks
Dominic
