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

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).
OK, I'll investigate further when I get a moment.
