I'd like to suggest that raise that minimum requirement for Perl to
5.8 for 8.3, as Perl 5.8 will be about five years old by then. I
understand that some people are running versions of some operating
system or other so ancient that Perl 5.8 did not come pre-installed
with it, but we can't be supporting other projects backwards into
eternity. Supporting our own is already plenty of work.
Cheers,
D
