Possibly block >=dev-lang/perl-5.24 in <dev-perl/URI-1.700 (or whichever combination started to warn/misbehave)?
Franz, thank you for the report.
Perl team, since I do not know perl at all, is this easily fixable in the code? Genlop is used by a large number of users. I will use whatever advice/fixes you can offer.

As I see it this is not an issue genlop can fix. Old dev-perl/URI simply isn't compatible with newer perl, so IMHO there should be a block somewhere. It fails while requiring URI/Encode in this line: return join '', @URI::Escape::escapes{$_[0] =~ /(\C)/g}; Here is the "\C"...
Given the problem is in URI::Escape, and is fixed by URI.pm (In reply to Brian Dolbec from comment #3) > Perl team, since I do not know perl at all, is this easily fixable in the > code? The "Fix" is to simply either: a) Have some dependency graph from genlop pull URI >= 1.62 when Perl >= 5.24 b) Stabilize some version of URI >= 1.62 and nuke <= 1.62 "a" seems like the most "technically correct" option. But "b" is the most pragmatic option that would work with the least amount of effort. 1.62 : https://metacpan.org/changes/distribution/URI#L92-99
dev-perl/URI-1.710.0 stabilization: please do Target: all stable arches
Stable on alpha.
