This package fails to build with Perl 5.42 (currently in experimental.)

Please specify prototyping behavior for Scan.xs (see perlxs manual)
make[1]: *** [Makefile:363: Scan.c] Error 1
This is because of changes in ExtUtils-ParseXS, which
now properly detects invalid XS syntax in this module. See
https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=162293 for a similar issue
in Crypt-SMIME. The attached patch adopts the technique suggested there
by Dave Mitchell: give the ignored first parameter a name but no type.
This works for on both Perl 5.40 and 5.42.
If you want to test changes against Perl 5.42 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/>.
Thanks for your work on Debian,

Subject: [PATCH] Fix invalid XS syntax that breaks the build with Perl 5.42
Older versions of ExtUtils::ParseXS used to silently ignore parameter
declarations that it could not parse. Newer ones (starting around Perl
5.42) issue a syntax error ("Unparseable XSUB parameter") instead.
See https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=162293 for a similar
issue in another module (Crypt-SMIME), where Dave Mitchell recommends
giving the ignored parameter a name but no type.
