The way MakeMaker traditionally handles a perl prerequisite is by sticking "require 5.xxx" at the top of the Makefile.PL. The CPAN tools can spot the resulting error message and take the appropriate action.
Is this documented anywhere? Or is this the kind of tacit knowledge like dying with "OS Unsupported" to signal to CPAN Testers tools that an OS isn't supported? "Tradition" and error string parsing seems a rather brittle approach. Regards, David
