Because of this statement from the POD of the package:

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hint in the Makefile.PL is correct or simply outdated and/or forgotten to be 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.
