Yes, I try to make everything EL-5 compatible unless there's some requirement
that can't be satisfied there, such as requiring a later version of a module
that's bundled with perl in EL-5.

Thanks.

Yes, I do think it's a bit extreme, but at least it's consistent.

I draw the line myself with modules/pragmas that are dual-lived: if they're
dual-lived then I specify them explicitly, otherwise I don't. As for the perl
dependency, well if perl(ExtUtils::MakeMaker) or its equivalent doesn't pull it
in as a dependency then I think we'll have a lot of FTBFS packages. I can't
really envisage any sane way of packaging perl where that dependency wouldn't
be present.
