LMS7.9 on Debian Stretch (perl 5.22)

I am a longtime LMS user under Debian. However, I tried to run LMS 7.9 under Debian Stretch (testing) and it fails. I guess it is related to the perl version that comes with Stretch, which is 5.22.1.

Does anyone here have experience with LMS 7.9 under Debian Stretch or under perl 5.22?

Do you have any hints on how to get it working under my current configuration?

Thanks a lot.
