Yes. You're right, Turns out that pristine-tar is setting the timestamp of all 
files [1] when creating a tarball.

The code that tweak timestamp has been present since 2007. I'm beginning to 
wonder if that's should be considered as a bug or a feature.

I'll check with Perl6 upstream what can be done to avoid relying on timestamp 
to trigger module rebuild.

I'll close this bug.

Thanks the the help

All the best
