bug#23077: Perl's closure is too big

Fixed in 81cea47d4a4c0054beb234004b990d6f514d0514 on ‘core-updates’.

Most likely this was a regression introduced with the upgrade to 5.22 in
4de35074833742e45237464bb1727ce1a55f3336.  Previously the issue had been
addressed in f727ec5bc8a6f97ae1083026e508b917235dfd2d.

Thanks,
