Starting with version 5.20.0 (currently in experimental), the Debian
perl package is changing the "vendorarch" library paths (currently
/usr/lib/perl5) to include the multiarch triplet and the perl version. See
#748380 for details.

For this to work, packages containing binary perl modules need to migrate
from using the hardcoded /usr/lib/perl5 directory to the value of the
$Config{vendorarch} variable, as defined in the 'Config' module.

This package fails to build with perl_5.20.0-1 from experimental:

  chrpath -d debian/tmp/usr/lib/perl5/auto/SWF/SWF.so
  open: No such file or directory
  elf_open: Invalid argument
  make: *** [install] Error 1
  debian/rules:119: recipe for target 'install' failed

I see debian/libswf-perl.install also hardcodes /usr/lib/perl5.
One solution for that one might be an executable debhelper install file
(available with debhelper compat level 9) expanding $Config{vendorarch}.
See #751924 for an example of this.

Please ask on the debian-perl list if you want help with this, and see
