Local Packages
Updated perl-PPIx-Regexp to 0.056:
Support removal of un-escaped literal left curlys after left parens, which was deprecated in 5.27.8; no actual change in output yet, since deprecation is not tracked, but the perl_version_removed() logic is there
Add next_element() and kin; these are analogous to next_sibling() and kin, but will cross over from content proper into structure (beginning and end delimiters, etc.) and vice versa
Correct requirements_for_perl() for impossible regular expression; it now returns '! $]' when the components of the regexp are valid, but none are valid under any specific version of Perl - it used to think all Perls were OK when this happened
Add the alpha_assertions introduced in 5.27.9
Handle 5.27.9's change from +script_run to *script_run, and support *sr as a synonym
Updated perl-Test-Simple to 1.302130 as per the Fedora version
