that is good news and reassuring, so we can go forward with the patch.

The test.pl file you mention also appears in the packaged source from CPAN,
so it should be possible to run tests.

Concerning the replacement of "cdr", you might want to have a look at "match":

I will probably not be able to get back to Guix before the weekend, so
please do not hesitate to update your patch.

And to send more of the perl packages - when I suggested you submit your
perl package patches, I did not imagine you would start with the most
difficult one ;-)
