Hi Gerald,

Debian is preparing to transition to perl 5.18, and test rebuilds of all
packages have revealed a problem with embperl (tracked at
http://bugs.debian.org/709668):

> This package FTBFS with perl 5.18 from experimental (in a clean sbuild

This is potentially due to the Hash overhaul / randomization in perl
5.18 as described at
http://search.cpan.org/dist/perl-5.18.0/pod/perldelta.pod#Hash_overhaul
and may require explicit sorting of keys where their order is relevant.

Will you have time to look into this?

best,
Florian
