Mitigating the risk of there being a bug in module you will one day need?

On the plus side, this particular bug should be easy to fix when encountered.

Actually I meant is there some systematic testing of CPAN-modules against the various Perl-versions that would allow you to look up a module somewhere and learn e.g. it works with 5.8.8 but not with 5.10. With "working" I mean passing the modules's test-suite or for modules that don't come with a test-suite passing a simple "use_ok" test-case.	[reply]

The CPAN Testers for Parse::Lex list at this time many many more fails than successes.	[reply]
