I've been meaning to ask the maintainers, according to the requirements
listed in the INSTALL file

Required Perl Interpreter
-------------------------

Perl 5.8.1 or a later version is required.
Preferred versions are 5.8.8, or 5.10.1 or later.

Yet it actually requires 5.10+ because of FromNameSpoof.pm

FromNameSpoof.pm uses the defined-or operator on line 265 (//=) and nested
(possessive) quantifiers ([\w\-\.]++)\b/i) on line 352.

Now fixing the source to work with 5.8x isn't a big deal but should the
requirements not reflected the need for perl 5.10 or should those line be
changed to comply with the stated 5.8.8 above?

I know to fix this before running make test, but the errors this produces
during make test could be quite confusing if you just ran into it.
