Well, that's not a patch but a whole perl distribution with "patch" in
the name which then uses the (unpackaged) Module::Patch to change a
method of the original module on the fly -- or something like that.

I guess the actual patch is the one-liner from
https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=71395
 
> Patching should also fix issue #667738.

Which points to https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=91699
which has a patch that is more invasive (actually two) but seems to
make sense in general. -- Hm but maybe the oneliner is enough?

I'm a bit worried which side effects either of the two changes might
have.


So, what is Arch actually doing?
https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/perl-http-daemon/
https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk?h=packages/perl-http-daemon
https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/commit/trunk?h=packages/perl-http-daemon&id=d903cb6142c192a46fdda7d2dcbed75d6f759d88

Ok, that's the 2 patches from Petr Písař from CPAN RT #91699.
 

Cheers,
