It appears he didn't apply patch 3 of the 5 which I emailed him last June
as part of the thread you quote:
    http://nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/237267,
so Coro won't build on 5.24.0 or later (including blead).

I guess he was too busy swearing at everyone and accusing them of lying to
actually apply the patch. Still, we tried. Lead a horse to water and all
that.
