Regarding to "bug in lang/perl5 5.18.0?" I asked Chris Williams
for help, because I was busy destroying pkgsrc by e17 import ;)

He told me:

BinGOs: [Sno]: 
http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/commitdiff/4149c7198d9b78d861df289cce40dd865cab57e7
BinGOs: confirmed that that fixes it.
• BinGOs &

I will try to create a patch the next days from it - if someone
is quicker, please drop a note to avoid double effort.

Cheers
