Package: libstring-mkpasswd-perl
Version: 0.05-3
Severity: important
User: debian-perl@lists.debian.org
Usertags: perl-5.44-transition

This package warns on usage with Perl 5.44 (currently in experimental.)

  $ perl -we 'use String::MkPasswd'
  Possible attempt to escape whitespace in qw() list at /usr/share/perl5/String/MkPasswd.pm line 61.
  Possible attempt to escape whitespace in qw() list at /usr/share/perl5/String/MkPasswd.pm line 77.
  Possible attempt to escape whitespace in qw() list at /usr/share/perl5/String/MkPasswd.pm line 81.

The warning causes a debci regression, which is a blocker for a Perl 5.44
transition. There's an example debci log at

https://ci.debian.net/packages/libs/libstring-mkpasswd-perl/unstable/amd64/76870161/

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/>.
