Ahem, actually I don't remember... It may have been generated by h2xs.
There's no good reason for not supporting perl 5.8

Config::Augeas should work with 5.8. I'll try this tomorrow on Rhel5.

I will apply this.

This is a work-around Augeas LOADPATH bug. This can be removed once
this bug is fixed in Augeas (the fix should be in mercurial now)
I will look into this tomorrow.

so I'd rather focus on my "upstream" role.

If you can wait a few days, I'll update Config::Augeas to remove the
hard coded path and test with Perl 5.8

Thanks for the feedback
