The fact that these well-meaning people have not been able to make every CPAN module available perfectly on PPM should tell you something
It's not that they can't -- it's that they choose not to. Backwards compatibility (to the earliest 58x release) has been chosen over supporting the latest developments in Perl. That's OK -- it makes perfect sense for a company providing "enterprise" Perl support. But it's a limiting choice for others.
