Re: which modules can be used on an older version of perl?

I asked about this on PerlMonks http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=586506 That resulted in this page: http://www.szabgab.com/cpantested/ Based on the database of the CPAN Testers I created a page for each version of Perl (platforms were not yet taken in account) and created a list of modules what have at least one PASS-ing test on that version of perl mentioning the highest version number that has PASS-ed testing. David Romano patched up Test-Simple to restore 5.4.5 compatibility. I'll see about releasing that as 0.66. That might make a whole lot more of CPAN happy on 5.4.x. PS I don't see 5.4.5 in your list.

Maybe your database is incomplete because I know I've sent a few reports with 5.004_05 » http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/259982 » http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/281901 But I note that on the reports page, they incorrectly appear as 5.4.4. (Also note that to make Test::Reporter work with old Perls, you need the patch from CPAN-RT#14148) -- Sébastien Aperghis-Tramoni Close the world, txEn eht nepO.
