Its mainly just syntax. I could easily make most of Net::LDAP be OK.
But Filter is using a regexp that 5.004 does not like (but we may find
a different solution)

But also more and more of the modules we depend on are moving on.
The DSML module I am working on uses XML::SAX, which will not work
with 5.004

So its getting to the point where we say "we support 5.004, but if you
want to do this, that or the other your mileage will vary"
