[Solved]Missing POD file from extra/perl prevents pkg from being built

Hello,

I'm trying to update bodr's PKGBUILD from AUR.
It used to build just fine, but some (relatively) recent update prevents the package from being built.

$ makepkg
==> Starting build()...
...
checking for perl... /usr/bin/perl
checking for Perl module diagnostics... missing
configure: error: The Perl module diagnostics could not be found.
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
==> ERROR: Build Failed.
    Aborting...

I edited the $srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver/configure file to give out more output (see below)

checking for Perl module diagnostics... couldn't find diagnostic data in /usr/share/perl5/core_perl/pods/perldiag.pod /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.1 /usr/share/perl5/site_perl/5.10.1 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/core_perl /usr/share/perl5/core_perl /usr/lib/perl5/current /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/current . -e at /usr/share/perl5/core_perl/diagnostics.pm line 268, <POD_DIAG> line 647.
Compilation failed in require, <POD_DIAG> line 647.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted, <POD_DIAG> line 647.
missing
configure: error: The Perl module diagnostics could not be found.
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
==> ERROR: Build Failed.
    Aborting...

Apparently it is looking for possible locations of the file perldiag.pod, but it isn't able to find it.
So my question is : has this file been recently split to another package?
I checked some packages like extra/perl-test-pod and community/perl-pod-coverage but without any luck.
I also tried reverting to an older version of perl (5.10.0-6), still with no luck.

Any ideas?

Thank you in advance.

this is fixed in the perl 5.10.1-5 packages in testing repo.
