When that happens, do you report test failures (using cpantest, provided by Test::Reporter)? If you do, I am pretty sure most authors will gladdly fix the code. Especially if you also include the patch. I am sure most authors do not willingly break compatibility, it just happens, sometimes for good reasons (unicode), sometimes just by habit or oversight.
