It will work on 5.10.0, however, some of the dependencies take a lot of
effort to install. In setting up my test platform for the CPAN Testers
websites side of things, I've been infuriated by a couple of people who
aren't able to correctly package distributions. It took me 2 days to
install everything!

If you come across any distribution using Module::Install, rewrite the
Makefile.PL to use EU::MM correctly and it will install correctly. Also
watch for any external libraries that aren't mentioned, and need to be
installed. Hopefully my fail reports are in the system.

Cheers,
Barbie.
