Were it pure perl, it'd work. Unfortunately for modules with XS components you're probably not going to have any luck unless you stay within the same major revision (and then I don't know offhand if it's a written guarantee to maintain binary compatibility; I'm sure someone here may be able to quote chapter and verse one way or the other). At best you're likely to have something that just won't load like you're seeing; at worst you might get something which will load but then will randomly SEGV because the "shape" of some perl data structure has changed underneath it and it goes chasing what it thinks should be the foo pointer but is really the lower half of a long double now.
The cake is a lie.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
