Hi, this is clearly caused by the recent Perl 5.20 transition.
Apologies for the lack of prior notification.
I made quite a few test rebuilds of affected packages, but it looks
like I chose the tested packages based on runtime dependencies (Depends:
libperl5.18) rather than build dependencies (Build-Depends: libperl-dev),
so this package didn't get tested.
The problem, of course, is that libperl.so moved from /usr/lib/libperl.so
to /usr/lib/<triplet>/libperl.so, so it looks like debian/rules needs
to be updated accordingly. Patch attached, this makes it build for me.
I do wonder about the missing runtime dependency. Comments in
gui-wx/configure/configure.ac indicate libperl gets loaded dynamically
at runtime. Is it intentional to not even Recommend libperl5.20, or is
that left out because it's non-trivial to do? (See #611573 for a similar
issue with the vim source package.)
I see you're currently parsing the output of the 'ls -l' command to get
the symlink target of libperl.so in libperl-dev. I can see why that's
necessary, but please note that I've just filed #759989 against perl to
make it possible to use $Config{libperl} in the future for this.

Subject: [PATCH] Fix the location of the Perl shared library
As of Perl 5.20, libperl.so has moved into /usr/lib/<triplet>,
so update the path in debian/rules accordingly.
