I've just been through the should-I-shouldn't-I-support-5.4 with my
(painfully slow) rewrite of Compress::Zlib. In the end I included limited
support for 5.004 because I could, plus I have no feel for how much pain I
would cause folk if I didn't.
If anyone cares about this enough to do something about it, I've
previously outlined a scheme for supporting statistics in CPAN in a way
that covers all the bases (including #perl picking it apart for about a
day).
Just never had time to implement it...
