David, Keeping CPAN happy with 5.6.2 and 5.8.9 is not so hard. I keep a distroprefs for some rarely needed patches, but in fact almost everything works on 5.6.2 and 5.8.9. At least some old versions, until someone went berserk and removed support in newer versions. Like to enforce LICENSE in EUMM metas.
