Just try to install any XS module on a Solaris host without Sun compiler 
installed (because it requires an additional license), for instance...

There is a gap between what we perl developpers consider as normal 
sysadmin practices, and real world practices. And it has to be balanced 
against the added value of additional dependencies if you want to target 
real users. Here, that's clearly overkill.

And I think than given current code state, they are better priorities 
than switching to a new framework, bringing additional dependencies for 
end users, and added complexity for our fellow contributers.

Basically, you're willing to switch from a 19th century code base to 
21th century directly. You're missing a step IMHO.
