But: if you release a new version of MIMEDefang that requires perl

yet.
Your choice not to upgrade I see as your problem.
But CentOS6 with the corresponding versions and likely a larger base
isn't out yet.
Those of us who keep current are running perl 5.12.3.
Some people choose new bugs over old. Not everyone.
Red Hat also distributes BIND 9.3.6, which is a pre-DNSSEC capable version of
the name server, yet even the DNS root zone has been DNSSEC signed for 9
months..... That should tell you something about RH.
Red Hat backports fixes, so it doesn't make sense to talk about their
version numbers without tracking what they have changed. Like perhaps
mentioning a CVE number that they haven't addressed. But in this case
that's not quite true either since the 5.6 update included bind 9.7.
