Upgrade Debian:11 perl to version 5.22.2-2 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream perl package and not the perl package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.
The XSLoader::load method in XSLoader in Perl does not properly locate .so files when called in a string eval, which might allow local users to execute arbitrary code via a Trojan horse library under the current working directory.
