That's just bullshit - perl-5.16.0 ships with version 1.13 of warnings. And the implication that you should install 5.15.4 is plain ludicrous.

Not that much, its merely stale data -- the modlist, etc, don't update itself

    Then the message that is being emitted should make it clear that it might not be up to date.
    Software that deliberately suggests to a user that an outdated devel version of perl be installed is something that I would classify as "malware". (Naturally, I do *not* believe this suggestion to be "deliberate".)
