Done now.
I found an old note indicating that the reason I chose 0.79 for prairiedog
back in 2017 is that 0.78 failed its self-test on that machine. 0.78 did
pass when I tried it just now on a perlbrew-on-Fedora-34 rig, so I'm not
sure what that was about ... but in any case, it discourages me from
worrying any further about whether a lower minimum could be sane.
