Your modules probably define their version with "our $VERSION" -- that blows up on 5.005 when EU::MM or M::B try to evaluate the line they parse out of your code. If you put "use 5.006" at the top of your Makefile.PL or Build.PL, you'll be much friendlier to anyone who tries to run your code on 5.005. On the other hand, Schwern declared 5.005 dead so you may not care.
However, Slaven's report is also from an older version of CPAN::Reporter -- in 1.05 I added an explicit check to detect this situation and issue an NA grade instead of a FAIL.
