This is a bug in Test::Deep.  The code that fails contains various conditionals
that look like this:

    elsif($] <= 5.010 ? ($base eq 'Regexp') : ($base eq 'REGEXP'))

Since maint-5.10.x now identifies itself as 5.010001, the conditional fails.
I suspect the author really meant $] < 5.011.  Changing it thusly makes all tests pass.
