I did some experiments with a clean perl install in a docker container
(see attached Dockerfile). It seems that the dependency resolution is
broken with perl 5.14.4, 5.15.0 and 5.15.1, and started to work with
5.15.2 again.
Upgrading various CPAN-related modules in 5.14.4 (CPAN, CPAN::Meta,
CPAN::Meta::YAML...) did not help.
