Thanks for the idea. It's been proposed before...
https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=28374
I'm fine with the idea as long as it's not adding to PREREQ_PM. I'm not a fan
of adding extra special meanings to things. PREREQ_PM is the prerequisite
perl modules and that's it. It'll need a new key. PREREQ_PERL is one idea.
So is MIN_PERL_VERSION. I don't really have a strong preference one way or
the other.
There's a patch in that ticket, it never got finished. You might want to work
off of that.
