Thanks, but I thought the patch was already in 'next' for a week or
more and it's time to refine incrementally.

Here is the difference as I see between what we already have and
this update, and a proposed summary.

Subject: perl: avoid *.pmc and fix Error.pm further

The previous round tried to use *.pmc files but it confused RPM
dependency analysis on some distros.  Install them as plain
vanilla *.pm files instead.

Also "local @_" construct did not properly work when goto &sub
is used until recent versions of Perl.  Avoid it (and we do not
need to localize it here anyway).
