In theory it should be fine, though I remember there were a few edge-cases (I forgot the details) that would make me recommend 0.4200 instead. I think I figured out what the problem is though: I suspect the version of CPAN.pm is too old to understand META.yml, and the _build/prereqs contains only test_requires (not build_requires), so it all falls on its face.

I'm not sure what the disadvantage is to you, if you really mind the messages you can simple disable CPAN Testers reports for 5.6 or declare in advance it wouldn't work. Leon
