I thought I saw somewhere the term LTS used with respect to Perl 5.24 but can't find it now... however they do push pretty hard to run the latest version:

 * On https://www.perl.org/get.html it says, "We recommend that you
   always run the latest stable version, currently 5.24.0. If you're
   running a version older than 5.8.3, you may find that the latest
   version of CPAN modules will not work."
 * On http://www.cpan.org/src/README.html it says "End of life" for all
   versions earlier than 5.22.2

If mod_perl doesn't work on any version except those marked "End of life" in CPAN, I think that's a problem.

OK I will give that a try. Unfortunate, as 5.24.0 has been blessed with LTS
status by the Perl gods. Hopefully a new mod_perl will come out that
includes this fix.
Where do you find a reference to LTS support for perl 5.24.0? As far
as I know the support policy is unchanged and uniform for each stable
release:
