The current copy of the FAQ already refers to several things which are only in the newest perl, doesn't it? (For example, ISTR the "adding/changing/deleting a line in a file" question referring to Tie::File, which is in bleadperl but not even in 5.6.1.) OTOH, there is the precedent of `perldoc -f srand` mentioning when the automatic call to srand started, and when the default seed changed (and probably other such "before version ABC, the behaviour was XYZ" places).
