Please ask debian-perl at lists.debian.org if you need help with preparing
or testing a change; if you have a suitable test i386 system you can
install perl 5.18 by adding experimental to your sources as well as the
repository at <http://people.debian.org/~dom/perl/test/perl-5.18.0/>

You can also find more about the perl 5.18 transition, which we hope
to start today[1], at <http://bugs.debian.org/712615>.

Thanks for your work!

Cheers,
Dominic.

test coverage did not cover this package, possibly because of issues
in build-dependencies
