The line causing the failure is

do { $cgiok = $CGI::VERSION > 2.45 ; @info = sort keys %{$fdat{-upload}} ; $cgiok?"@info":'Content-Disposition Content-Type' }

In both cases $cgiok should be true:

→ perl -MCGI -E 'say $CGI::VERSION'
4.06
→ perl -I/usr/share/perl/5.20.1 -MCGI -E 'say $CGI::VERSION'
3.65

So the difference is the amount of meta data in the $fdat{-upload}
hashref (which is likely generated by CGI.pm).

It seems as if CGI 3.65 outputs the very same values which the
fallback test outputs if no CGI.pm at all is available, while CGI 4.x
seems to have more keys in there, unexpected by the test.

While I think that colon and "<br>" in there look suspicious, I
currently assume that this test failure shows no functionality issues,
just some unexpected but likely non-breaking, i.e. backwards API
expansion -- just the test is not written with that in mind.

I'll do some further testin (checking where the colon and "<br>" come
from), but I expect that this can be fixed by Build-Conflicting with
libcgi-pm-perl, at least for now.
