What's the problem with 5.22? I don't see a separate post, except from
David Wheeler, reporting a problem with 5.22. I also found a problem
late in the 5.21 development cycle that I knew would cause a problem
for 5.22: https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=101962

Is the problem anything to do with that?

I'm inclinced to just add a note to README about 5.22 woes for now so
that we can get a 2.0.9 out there that works with the latest httpd,
and then work on supporting this latest perl for 2.0.10.
