Perl 5.38 has landed in Debian unstable, and plperl doesn't like it:

Same problem in 17devel and 16. (Did not try the older branches yet.)

I can't reproduce this on my Ubuntu 22.04 ARM64 instance with perl
5.38.2 installed via perlbrew, nor on a fresh Debian unstable with it's
perl 5.38.2. In both instances my LANG is set to en_US.UTF-8.

It was a problem on the perl side:

(Fixed on Jan 12th)

Thanks for trying,
