And for the record, there are modules with incorrect C
concerning the Perl version. For example, some ask a Perl 5.005
while they perfectly work on 5.004, like File::Temp and
Test::Reporter. That's how I can send CPAN Testers reports
under 5.004:

Andreas,
I've used this tool a few times when a CPAN module wasn't already

As I mentioned early, the obvious upgrade path from EU:MM, (apparently
if you don't care about 5.004 at least) is to Module::Install.
For example...
