I did answer to this.  By no means I will ever ask someone to
downgrade her work.  What you call ``upgrading'' is actually
``regressing'', asking her to use old syntax, and forget about the
added value of the warning module.

Class::Struct belongs to Perl core, it would be unacceptable that Perl
5.6's modules could use Perl's 5.6 language and modules.

*We* are the ones who want to get out of the tracks, so we have to
handle this by ourselves.
