arch=('any') but package contains ELF files.

PKGBUILD and .SRCINFO are still set to 1.28 and fail to build, editing them to 1.31 (as harrysummer shows) pulls in the correct package, makes and installs good. Otherwise it will fail if running an AUR helper. see http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/H/HM/HMBRAND/ for details.

Here is a PKGBUILD that works for 1.30 release: https://gist.github.com/bbidulock/e4225f04311e74ecb52ae015d79b08f6

Updating to 1.29 is trivial. Replacing the checksums in PKGBUILD should do the job. Recompiling vs perl 5.26 worked out-of-the-box yesterday. FYC here the checksums: md5sums=('2c9cc323dd40f2096172027dc4512abc') sha512sums=('fb71d44c8ec8420d7f80a8c7a9a0fc5db5023303f6317a6e49b06681df2ebb7b88af14a43e50f97cc328921a636453fb6a9840f6251d0a2c48205cd48b1d529d')

Updating the package. Sorry for the wait.

Please update package to 1,19 to trigger recompile against perl 5.22.0.
