I was thinking a little less granular.

For example if I run cpan-audit installed I see a warning for PathTools <3.62 so if I use File::Spec I simply enforce minimal version so that the Module user performs an update of this module.

Actually that specific module probably not a great example as it's part of Core bundled packages but you get the idea. So wasn't thinking about going down to specific encryption algols etc but just looking at modules with versions that have security advisories that are simple enough to set minimal versions on without forcing a Perl version upgrade.
