Another possibility is to demand-load perl modules, and make the "fancy"
options optional. If written properly, the commit script could check for
those extra modules it wants at runtime, and disable functionality if it's
not there. You can do something like:

my $USE_STORABLE = 0;

eval {
        require Storable;
};
if ($@ !~ /Can't locate/) {
        $USE_STORABLE = 1;
}

...to achieve this.

Just a suggestion. =)
