new perl package needs newer versions of dependancies.

[Christopher]

Hello...

  I am trying to add a new perl Yahoo-Marketing module package to
fedora/epel, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=524698. One of
the dependencies is for perl-Test-Class.  The current fedora package
requires newer versions of several existing modules.

from koji scratch build:
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/getfile?taskID=1693325&name=build.log


+ /usr/bin/perl Build.PL installdirs=vendor
 - ERROR: Test::More (0.62) is installed, but we need version >= 0.78
 - ERROR: perl (5.008008) is installed, but we need version >= 5.6001
 - ERROR: Test::Builder (0.32) is installed, but we need version >= 0.78
 - ERROR: Test::Simple (0.62) is installed, but we need version >= 0.78
ERRORS/WARNINGS FOUND IN PREREQUISITES.  You may wish to install the versions
of the modules indicated above before proceeding with this installation

Looks good

Creating new 'Build' script for 'Test-Class' version '0.31'


What is the general consensus on updating EPEL perl modules as
requirements for other perl modules?  Yes?  maybe?  never?  maintainers
choice?
