It's not just a perl version thing... there are more reports for later versions of perl, where Moose is capable of installing quite happily. e.g.: http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/788c0bbe-59e4-11e2-992e-e7c00a4a7996 http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/3fac9ade-6a06-11e2-992e-e7c00a4a7996 http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/cf194c38-6a1c-11e2-992e-e7c00a4a7996
