The only way I know of to do this currently is for Makefile.PL to die
as a result of a failed "require 5.00X" line. ie. Your Perl is not of a
high enough version.
Perhaps, as a stop-gap, this model could be expanded a little bit to allow
the Makefile.PL to die with a general NA report.
die "Stopped: $reason";
or
die "NA: $reason";
Since, at the moment, we're having trouble putting together a system to
cover the possible reasons for an NA report let the module author figure it
out. Its simple and minimal.
