Subject: Don't use warnings in Makefile.PL, and add a version dep
use warnings adds a Perl 5.006 dependency. While it's not so bad to have it in the test module itself, it's perhaps not so great to use it in the Makefile.PL, because anyone without 5.6 who tried to install it will just see the installer crash. Please also consider adding an explicit Perl version dependency, so that things fail correctly for pre 5.6 people.
