That module (Bio::Tools::Run::WrapperBase) is now part of bioperl-run [1].
Unfortunately, it seems that there has been no new release of bioperl-run
since that change.

I am not sure what's the plan for bioperl to make a new release of
bioperl-run (adding bioperl mailing list to CC) but can Debian patch
bioperl-run to include those files like upstream has done for the
next release?
