This issue seems to be our worst blocker for migrating to Perl 5.24. There are some hints in the CPAN ticket, and I was able to get the module to load with those (without really understanding half of what I was doing). The test suite still blows up quite spectacularly. There are a few reverse dependencies of libdata-alias-perl in Debian, but it does look somewhat possible to move ahead without this package if that turns out to be necessary. In particular, Data-Visitor only has an optional dependency on Data-Alias. I'm copying the upstream author. Zefram, do you think Data-Alias is fixable for 5.24, or should we rather be looking at leaving it out from Debian when we transition?
