So if the problem is "old perl", I don't think it is an issue. Are there
modern perl installations in the wild that don't have File::Temp?
The thing is, I think I heard quite similar explanation why Test::More is
safe to use when the patch to add t/t9700 was submit. Then what happened?
ISTR the Test::More problem was reported by Linus, who is a Fedora user?
I tried searching for any reasonable information on which of the core
perl modules are installed by default on Fedora systems, but didn't come
up with anything useful.
I really have no clue as to what is out there, and I suspect we must
either play it totally safe, or push the limits and wait for people to
complain about breakage.
