The only dependency HTTP::Date itself has is Time::Local, so you
should basically be fine whatever perl version you use.
You can for instance install that module by itself (without getting
all of LWP and its dependencies) with something like:
$ perl -MCPAN -eshell
cpan> look HTTP::Date
$ cp lib/HTTP/Date.pm $(cd ~ && perldoc -l HTTP::Date)
$ exit
cpan>
[This example assumes a bash like shell.]
And then again, perhaps things simply gets better with a newer
CPAN.pm?
