Hi,

I make heavy use of your distribution for DBIx::Class::Migration and it works really well. However in your latest release you are requiring a new version of Perl then is supported by my company. I feel your pain on this issue but I don't see anything in your codebase that is v5.10.1+ specific (as far as I can tell all your tests pass on the older Perl) so I would ask if you could consider following the Moose cabal's rule, which is you don't support Perl's older than 5.10.1 but your won't explicitly stop someone from trying to install it. Right now I can't even try, since the version requirement is part of the build.

I hate to be in the position of making this request, but unless there is a code reason, like some Perl 5.10.1 feature you really need to have in order to make your project work, I would appreciate you accommodation on this.
