Subject: Test::MockObject does not support perl 5.005
Test::MockObject doesn't work on 5.005, making it hard to use for testing things like CPAN modules that need to work as compatibly as possible. Looking at the code it looks like it should be able to, although I'm not sure what the implications are for UNIVERSAL::can and UNIVERSAL::isa, which both also make heavy use of 5.006-minimum features.
I don't really want to give up the nice features of UNIVERSAL::can and UNIVERSAL::isa, as well as the ability to disable subroutine redefinition errors lexically. Perl 5.6.0 is five and a half years old now; I'm content to relegate it to history for all modules I support.
