Yeah, IIRC it bails out with any perl version newer than 5.20 as
schmorp refuses to use upstream perl 5.22 and later and only supports
his perl5 fork called "stableperl":

So I'm quite surprised to see this module packaged at all as I'd
expect that all CPAN modules which use this module will FTBFS as soon
as we move to perl 5.22 as currently in Experimental.

So I would guess that we have to RM most of his packages.
