Why?
It also has implications from a CPAN graph perspective.
If a module has a Perl language version dependency, we can short-
circuit
Makefile.PL, and we can even short-circuit configure_requires, because
there's simply no point bothering.
Sure, but I don't understand why this means we need to turn requires
=> perl into perl_requires. Consumers can do all the same short-
circuiting on requires => perl.
