sno 9ba75f643e PkgSrc changes:
- import package for perl module Capture::Tiny (required for
    Email::Sender update)

Capture::Tiny provides a simple, portable way to capture anything sent to
STDOUT or STDERR, regardless of whether it comes from Perl, from XS code
or from an external program. Optionally, output can be teed so that it is
captured while being passed through to the original handles. Yes, it even
works on Windows. Stop guessing which of a dozen capturing modules to use
in any particular situation and just use this one.

This module was heavily inspired by IO::CaptureOutput, which provides
similar functionality without the ability to tee output and with more
complicated code and API.
