It is ok if there is no minimum version needed by koha greater that the
one required by the dependency.
Else, I would really like to see another doc (if not in Makefile.PL) telling
the minimum perl module versions needed by Koha (including transitively with
the dependencies)

A few months ago, I went thru the Makefile.PL list and try to package all
needed perl modules. I've been surprised by the list given by Ray :
most are already packaged in Debian. Perhaps, he was talking about etch
but even with this, some perl modules of its list seem up-to-date for me.

I do not have a lot of free times to work on Koha. In particular, I do not
have the time for now to try to install and test it.
But I would be very pleased to help, at least, to package all missing
dependencies before the lenny freeze. But for this, I depends on you (koha
developers) to tell me what is missing, what must be updated to new
upstream.

already in debian (etch and lenny uptodate 0.8)

already in debian, uptodate for lenny (1.22)

PS: lenny freeze will happens in a few weeks. So, it becomes urgent
to identify missing dependencies in lenny...
