This perl package has not seen any updates since 2020.

The upstream author of Error has deprecated it for quite some time.

https://metacpan.org/pod/Error#WARNING

    'Using the "Error" module is no longer recommended due to the
     black-magical nature of its syntactic sugar, which often tends
     to break. Its maintainers have stopped actively writing code
     that uses it, and discourage people from doing so.'

The only recipe in oe-core which had any depdency on it was coreutils-ptest,
and that has now been removed. All ptests passed for core-image-ptest-coreutils
on qemux86-64.

It is not clear when the dependency in coreutils was present, but it is
definitely not needed in the current v9.4 release.

  coreutils: drop obsolete liberror-perl RDEPENDS
  liberror-perl: move to meta-perl
