I've used the native implementation provided by EUMM before 2.016 but I got
a bug report that this causes hangs in older Perl version (RT#104731) so
I replaced it with some local code.
Since the local code seems to work I see currently no reason to get back
to using the EUMM implementation because than I might add strange problems
again which I cannot reproduce. And adding a requirement to a version
of EUMM which the user might not have just to replace a working current
implementation makes it in my opinion only harder for few users without
gaining anything for others.
Of course if my implementation would miss an important feature or would
make otherwise live hard for users or developers I might rethink this decision.
