As per #826667 the last perl update unfortunately broke biber too
(at least it causes a test failure; the actual cause is a bit unclear,
but the fix is taken straight from the upstream perl 5.22 fixes).
Please find attached a proposed patch; let me know if it's okay to upload.
This was discovered by automated rebuild testing of all packages depending
on perl:
<http://perl.debian.net:3000/distribution#jessie>
this testing is not yet completed, but no other failures have been
found yet.
Thanks,
Dominic.
