What I've found is that if you have a newer version that it usually doesn't matter. I had the same problem with XML::RSS. Make testdeps wouldn't find v1.05 however, I have v1.10 installed. Everything still worked as expected.
I suspect that some items are hard-coded for a particular version and ignore anything other than that one version. If you have a newer version installed, chances are it will still work.
