As my audience for DBD::Unify is very very small, my strategy is to be sure
it works on all systems I have (HP-UX 10.20, 11.00, 11.11, 11.23, AIX 4.3.3,
5.2.0.0) for the most recent version of DBI and the most recent version of
stable perl (5.8.8 now)

I also tend to test on bleadperl (devel) and the most recent maint branch
(5.8.x). I get feedback from someone at Unify who uses it himself.

The release docs (README) say on what version the release was tested.
