Otherwise it's a bit of a judgement call, but I'd rather tie a package to the Perl version it was tested with (you can always change the hint file later if you know it really doesn't need to be repackaged after an update). You can't generally know in advance if that works or not with a later Perl version, especially now that there is talk about a version 7 that will most likely deprecate a number of features and make others the default. Binary and feature compatibility is only guaranteed within one major version.
