html_formfu_dumpconf.pl fails to run with the error:

$ html_formfu_dumpconf.pl
Can't locate Regexp/Assemble.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Regexp::Assemble module) (@INC entries checked: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.38.2 /usr/local/share/perl/5.38.2 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.38 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl-base /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.38 /usr/share/perl/5.38 /usr/local/lib/site_perl) at /usr/bin/html_formfu_dumpconf.pl line 7.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/bin/html_formfu_dumpconf.pl line 7.

[ Test Plan ]

1. install libhtml-formfu-perl
2. execute html_formfu_dumpconf.pl to check if the error is fixed.
3. For a complete test, use the conf file from example.

html_formfu_dumpconf.pl /usr/share/doc/libhtml-formfu-perl/examples/unicode/root/forms/view.conf

[ Where problems could occur ]

There is no change in code and it only fixes the runtime dependency so that html_formfu_dumpconf.pl find everything it needs. And, so the chances of a regression is very less for this change.

[ Other Info ]

It has been fixed in Debian so the next development version will be fixed when its synced with Debian.
