Agreed.

Agreed -- I doubt this is 5.10-specific.

Yep, and in a minute here I'll test it under 5.8.

I don't think so, but I guess we'll see once I finish installing the
dependencies. Here's what I got:

t/Spidey........................ok 1/26 Can't call method "sub_SeqFeature"
on an undefined value at t/Spidey.t line 24, <GEN1> line 170.
# Looks like you planned 26 tests but only ran 3.
# Looks like your test died just after 3.
t/Spidey........................dubious

        Test returned status 255 (wstat 65280, 0xff00)
DIED. FAILED tests 4-26
        Failed 23/26 tests, 11.54% okay
