Thanks for your bug report.

* Re "anyway(s)": I leave this to some native speaker, dict recognizes
  both versions.

* Re "< 5.9.5": if I understand the description correctly, this is
  correct. mro is in perl core since v5.9.5, and this MRO::Compat
  module is for perls before 5.9.5.
  (Which leads to the question if/why we still need this package.)
 
Cheers,
