Ack. The new version revealed a bug in Config::Model::TkUI tests. 

User should not be impacted. I've fixed this upstream and will package it for 
Debian soon.

Thanks for your report.

All the best

Bug#897960: libconfig-model-tkui-perl: FTBFS: Can't call method "exists" on an undefined value

[Niko Tyni]

Package: libconfig-model-tkui-perl
Version: 1.365-1 
Severity: serious
User debian-p...@lists.debian.org
Usertags: autopkgtest

As noticed by ci.debian.net, this package has started failing its
test suite on current sid, probably because of

 -libconfig-model-perl 2.122-1
 +libconfig-model-perl 2.123-1

This also makes the package fail to build from source.
