Er, I should have been clearer: these have been applied for the next
podlators release (upstream).  Getting the change into the Perl package in
Debian is a different matter on which I cannot comment, since I'm not a
Perl package maintainer.  :)

Perl upstream is somewhat inconsistent on whether they pull new versions
of core modules into point releases or only into new major releases.
