Eric's already posted about this but I've just signed up for the list
(hello) - so I don't think anyone will have seen my reply.
We're smoke testing TAP::Parser against all of the Perl versions we
claim to support - everything from 5.0.5 to blead. We support both EUMM
and MB but I haven't been able to get MB working on 5.0.5.
If I install an old enough version of Data::Dumper to work on 5.0.5 MB's
tests fail because DD can't handle some data that's passed to
it. Pre 2.0 versions of Data::Dumper are thin on the ground. Here's all
I can find on backpan:

Has anyone got MB running on 5.0.5 and if so how?
