Simplest fix would be to patch the line:

use DateTime::Set 0.0901;

in lib/DateTime/Incomplete.pm

to be:

use DateTime::Set 0.15;

(Changes file and Makefile.PL says it really wants version 0.1401)

You could BuildRequire perl(DateTime::Set) >= 0.15 and the 
auto-generated dependency would reflect that version requirement so 
there'd be no need for any further filtering.
