I think Andreas wants to keep it working "as far back as possible".  I
forget if he actually gave me a target Perl, though.  I try to avoid
anything that requires 5.6 or higher.  (Yes, painful, that.)

I think you would need to make them conditional -- if installed, then
you can run the tests, otherwise skip.

As much as I'd love to see Capture::Tiny in core, I don't think
there's a burning need for it yet.  :-)
