hi Michael ,
this does seem to be a bug in 21.05 (at least)

the following command should fix the problem, if the libdata-printer-perl package is not installed

  $ sudo apt install libdata-printer-perl

Bug 28616: Add libdata-printer-perl package

to test...
 1/ run  /intranet/cgi-bin/tools/import_borrowers.pl, get error
 2/ add patch, build package, install package
 3/ run  /intranet/cgi-bin/tools/import_borrowers.pl, get no error
Comment 2 Katrin Fischer 2021-06-23 07:39:02 UTC
Is there a chance to still get this in .01?

Bug 28616: (bug 28220 follow-up) Replace Data::Printer with simple warn

$_ is an exception that will be stringify in scalar context. We don't
need Data::Printer here.
