RAQs don't include a recent-enough version, and there are still quite a 
lot of them out there. If you use Perl 5.8 then you're fine, but I think 
most earlier versions need upgrading. If this module is too old, then 
you will get some *very* strange errors later in the installation which 
are hard to diagnose, so I make sure it's up to date enough not to cause 
problems later in a few of the other modules that happen to use 
recently-added features in it.
