Let's not bury version dependencies all over the code & tests. I
think our options are either a workaround in Base.pm or declaring a
formal prereq. Telling the user in a warning message to upgrade perl
isn't an option though.
Text::ParseWords on CPAN is really old. It appears that, to upgrade
it, you have to upgrade Perl.
