Deliberately keeping this to the dev list.
With my previous comment I was specifically referring to comments like
in bug 5574. Comment 11 outlines the general age of Perl releases and
the Linux part of the picture. Comment 21 argues about MacOS. Anyone
know details about BSD, Solaris and maybe others?
Also, of course, I was about fixing bug 6131 properly. Hence me
explicitly mentioning requiring Perl 5.8.1 -- or alternatively 5.8.0
with an additional MakeMaker min dep.
