I wonder if it really needs perl 5.6?  If so then it seems you're out
of luck.  However, for the Test:: modules: if they are only needed to
run some tests but not for the runtime package, then you could either
not run the tests, or run the tests against a private copy of the
Test::* library which is only used for build and not distributed.
