For perl arch:all packages there are no relevant changes between
debhelper compat level 8 and 9.
But yes, it at least makes lintian (with its new pedantic warning)
happy.

That's perfectly fine, is used all over the place in perl packages
and works.
The idea is:
- perl is needed in general, whatever version
- for tests Test::More version 0.98 is required, which is in

+ or the separate package libtest-simple-perl with the appropriate
version

There have already been talks on IRC in #debian-perl which probably
will lead to moving the package to pkg-perl.
