 Because of this statement from the POD of the package:
 
  > Because the C implementations are linked to the perl versions of the same 
 function, it is preferable to upgrade PPI::XS any time you do a major 
 upgrade of PPI itself.
 
 I didn't try with any other version than 1.203 - so I can't be sure that the 
 hint in the Makefile.PL is correct or simply outdated and/or forgotten to be 
 increased.
 
 If you're sure that the specified version is correct, feel free to modify 
 the requirement before committing.
