Update dependant perl modules for biber

[ken@…]

The modules pulled in for biber have had the usual churn since I last looked at them (this time, I checked on 6th August).

Some of this is just newer versions (e.g. updates for newer tzdata within DateTime-TimeZone and DateTimeLocale).

An update to DateTime-Format-Strptime means that it no longer requires Package-DeprecationManager (or the deps for that).

Net-SSLeay now has a proper release (1.88)

XML-LibXML is now happy with all libxml-2.9 versions (it previously reported during configuration that it was untested). Unfortunately, it now requires Alien-Libxml2 which pulls in several other modules.

LWP-MediaTypes now needs Test-Fatal for its testsuite.

Unfortunately, for me Net-SSLeay now fails one of its external tests.

#   Failed test 'get_subjectAltNames works'
#   at t/external/15_altnames.t line 31.
# Looks like you failed 1 test of 9.
t/external/15_altnames.t ............... 
Dubious, test returned 1 (wstat 256, 0x100)
Failed 1/9 subtests 

This appears to be ​https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=129542 where the test worked in some places but not in others (one comment said it worked in the UK, but it doesn't for me). Will document that.

Scratch DateTime-Format-Builder, that is already in the book. My comparison script obviously found multiple versions at cpan.

[ken@…]

Sub-Name was listed as optional for Try-Tiny (suggested for runtime, but not required for the tests of any listed module), I'm replacing that by Capture-Tiny - not required, but Try-Tiny will run one extra test if it is present (my build for biber had it already installed, another for my normal desktop had omitted it).

Also, HTTP-Daemon is a top-level dep for other packages, but we seem to have missed the newer version.

Replying to ken@…:

Changed maintainer.

Scratch Log-Log4perl, that's another one where there are multiple versions available.

[ken@…]

Module-Build is also a top-level dep.
