I did a binary chop on all the old versions of Data::Dumper I could

With that installed Module::Build still has a couple of test
failures - but nothing likely to bite me, so I installed it.
Is MB intended to work on 5.0.5?
If by "5.0.5" you mean something like 5.005_xx, then yes. The
current svk passes all tests (for me, at least, on OS X) on 5.005_04,
and previous versions do to, except occasionally when something
sneaks in and breaks it.
If we can identify a specific version of Data::Dumper that we seem to
require, then we should add that to the prereqs (or better, identify
the problem and work around it).
At some point I think we may drop 5.005 support, but so far we seem
to be fine with it.
