Should be fixed. After making the changes to my own system noted in my comment on 2022-06-04 I completely forgot about pushing them.

Build fails as of this writing:

==> Starting build()...
Can't locate Module/Build.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Module::Build module) (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.36/site_perl /usr/share/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.36/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.36/core_perl /usr/share/perl5/core_perl) at ./Build.PL line 4.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./Build.PL line 4.
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().

Can you add perl-module-build to the dependencies?

The check() also fails without perl-test-exception and perl-sub-exporter; could you add these also?

As of a few days ago perl updated to version 5.36. This orphans perl-linux-fd with the following message from pacman:

WARNING: '/usr/lib/perl5/5.34' contains data from at least 1 packages which will NOT be used by the installed perl interpreter.

This breaks urxvt font resizing. Updating the PKGBUILD _perl_version variable to 5.36, and running the following successfully rebuilds this module and restores font resize functionality, as well as removes the pacman warnings:

yay -Rns perl-linux-fd
cd $HOME/.cache/yay/perl-linux-fd
sed -i 's/_perl_version=5.34/_perl_version=5.36/' PKGBUILD
makepkg --cleanbuild -fi

Please update the PKGBUILD with the newest version of perl, 5.36.
