The current plan of the Debian Perl Team is to drop libcoro-perl from
Debian unstable and any future stable releases because its upstream
author refuses to support newer Perl versions and it indeed fails to
build from source with Perl 5.22 from Debian Experimental.

See https://bugs.debian.org/787500 for the background and some
discussion about that decision.
