Making a reference to it is one thing, but how many people actually use it.

Looking on CPAN FreezeTHaw has not been updated since May 1998, so what is
the probabilty that it will work with 5.00503 or 5.6.0 or that it will be updated
to work with newer versions of perl. Given that Ilya is the author it is not
as if you can say that the author has not been aware of core changes either.

I would say leave it out.
