Some other digging around shows that the module has been around since 1996 (Perl5 was 1994) and hasn't had a feature update (or any update for that matter) since 2003. So it should meet our baseline 5.14 requirement, which came out in 2011.
I assume you then mean tying this to 1.44 (or another version?), since AFAICT
there has been both features and bugfixes well after 2003?

I don't think that's remotely a starter. Asking people to install an old and possibly buggy version of a perl module is not something we should do.
I think the barrier for this is pretty high. I try to keep module requirements for the buildfarm client pretty minimal, and this could affect a much larger group of people.
