This package fails to build with Perl 5.44.0 (currently in experimental.)

  Can't modify non-lvalue subroutine call of &Time::HiRes::sleep in addition (+) at t/tlib/Test/RedisRunner.pm line 103, near "0.1;"
  Compilation failed in require at t/test_helper.pl line 8.
  BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at t/test_helper.pl line 8.
  Compilation failed in require at t/03-auth.t line 7.

This seems to be fallout from

https://github.com/Perl/perl5/commit/aaaa85451df1bafe4eb3a32e417d82c54056ff19

A similar issue in Test-RedisServer was fixed with

https://github.com/typester/Test-RedisServer/pull/21

A full build log is at

If you want to test changes against Perl 5.44 in experimental and run
into uninstallability problems, there is a test repository of rebuilt
Debian sid packages for amd64 available at <https://perl.debian.net/>.
