Thanks for the recipe --- this worked for me, although I noticed
it insisted on installing perl5.34-5.34.3_3 alongside 5.36.
Doesn't seem to be a problem though --- the main perl installation
is still 5.36.

FWIW, I spent some time yesterday staring at IPC/Run.pm and
came to the (unsurprising) conclusion that there's little we can
do to work around the bug.  None of the moving parts are exposed
to callers.

Also, I'm not entirely convinced that the above-cited issue report is
complaining about the same thing that's biting us.  The reported error
messages are completely different.
