I am responsible for this and am sorry.

I plead ignorance. The only restriction I was aware
of was version of Perl and Config::IniFiles requires
5.004 which I was informed was acceptable when I asked
#parrot.

In fact, I remember searching to see if there were
other non-core modules being used as a precedent,
which there were. Here are some others that may need
tickets as well:
Module Script
C::Scan tools/dev/run_indent.pl
Digest::Perl::MD5 build_tools/fingerprint_c.pl
Digest::Perl::MD5 tools/dev/pbc_header.pl
Parse::RecDescent various language directories
YAML various language directories
Regexp::Common
tools/dev/extract_file_descriptions.pl
Storable examples/benchmarks/freeze.pl (not
in core until 5.007)
Text::Balanced build_tools/c2str.pl (not in core
until 5.007)
Time::HiRes examples/benchmarks/freeze.pl (not
in core until 5.007)

Since Config::IniFiles is pure perl, I could easily
copy/paste the module (with due credit given) if that
is the approach we want to take. I could write my own
parsing code if that would be more desired. We could
revert back to the previous version which did not have
the requirement.

Just let me know
