This is fatal in Perl 5.26 (currently in experimental), making the
package fail to build from source. Raising the severity accordingly.
A full build log is available at
http://perl.debian.net/rebuild-logs/perl-5.26-throwaway/xindy_2.5.1.20160104-1/xindy_2.5.1.20160104-1_amd64-2017-05-21T07:27:42Z.build
and the server also hosts a test repository of packages binNMU'd for Perl
5.26 that can be used for testing purposes; see <http://perl.debian.net/>.
