Thank you for looking into this, I see you have generated a patch already 
which should satisfy this latest version of UserAgent.pm. 

I use UserAgent.pl in one of my addons (which generates ADSL data graphs) 
and after I manually added /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.32.1/Encode/Locale.pm 
from my debian distribution my addon was operational again after the CU 165 
upgrade which added the new version of UserAgent.pl. 

Regards

Rob

Kind Regards

Rob
