If working since 5.8.0 then that change seems safe: That version is 
required anyway as part of Debian Perl Policy.

Investigating further supports that: According to upstream changelog, 
DESTDIR was introduced in version 6.06_01, and Debian oldstable (Etch) 
contained version 6.42.

I'll make the change.
