If you truly need a minimum version of CPAN, declare it. You can set

No specific CPAN client is needed to install any distribution. However, if

installation will fail.
I get what you are saying (CPAN is *never* needed, I get that), but if you
really feel that way why are we having this discussion? You suggested the
solution to some failures was to upgrade a module to a more recent version
- My point is that if you think that's necessary, why not say so in your
module? (Where others can see that requirement, and fulfil it on a
case-by-case basis, instead of a large scale toolchain modification for all
users.)
