+weaken function is that it is not present in the pure-perl variant. If
+Scalar::Util is not available at all, it will issue a normal dependency on the
+module. However, if Scalar::Util is relatively new ( it is >= 1.19 ) and the
+module does not have weaken, the install will bail out altogether with a long
+error encouraging the user to seek support.")
