I changed the title of this ticket to "Deprecating unescaped literal { in regex breaks CPAN"
There will be other affected distributions, so their names can just be added on to those already here.

We've concluded that the first one found was a bug in the test.  So, the maintainer should be notified.  I'm not sure of the best procedure to do so.  I'm guessing an email from me with a summary of what we've found?

The second one should be patched, and I will submit a pull request on its github to accomplish this
